IIUC (and that's an if) unused_madt_entries is a "buffer" that you add
to all platform devices you manage to create through midr matching to
make sure there are enough resource entries when/if a cpu of the
respective type is onlined.

If that's the case unused_madt_entries can't be a bool.

Second question I have is what happens if cpus that aren't online
have an midr that differs from all the entries parsed at init time
(ie those you created a platform device for), that's certainly
a pesky corner case though.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
