Shouldn't that just be a check to continue if the device is disabled?

If adding a check for available, then all of the callers of for_each_of_cpu_node()
need to be checked.  There is at least one that is suspicious - arch/arm/mach-imx/platsmp.c
has a comment:

 * Initialise the CPU possible map early - this describes the CPUs
 * which may be present or become present in the system.
