Sai,
Thanks for the patch. Please could you change the subject to :
"coresight: Do not default to CPU0 for missing CPU phandle"

Thats not the right justification. Causing crashes is due to
bad DT/firmware. I would be happy with something like :
"Coresight platform support assumes that a missing \"cpu\" phandle
defaults to CPU0. This could be problematic and unnecessarily binds
components to CPU0, where they may not be. Let us make the DT binding
rules a bit stricter by not defaulting to CPU0 for missing "cpu"
affinity information."
Also, you must
1) update the devicetree/bindings document to reflect the same.
2) update the drivers to take appropriate action on the missing CPU
where they are expected (e.g, CPU-debug, etm*), to prevent
breaking a bisect.
coresight platform for such cases and then handle it
in the coresight drivers.

The code is self explanatory here. You could drop the comment.
