"Never uses it" or "never really uses it"?
This commit message misses the point though I think - is this here to
get the hartid, or is it here to do all the property validation that
riscv_of_processor_hartid() does for a cpu node?
This was added all the way back in 4.20 in commit 732e8e4130ff ("RISC-V:
properly determine hardware caps").
As the loop is a for_each_of_cpu_node(), I don't think this change is
actually valid - there's no guarantee that the cpu we are iterating over
is actually available and the riscv_of_processor_hartid() check is used
to skip "bad" cpus AFAICT.
Perhaps I am missing something, I don't think you can do this until you
switch the loop to use something that only uses cpus that you know are
valid.
Cheers,
Conor.
