With commit 09f49dca570a ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes
gracefully") NODE_DATA for even a memoryless/cpuless node is partially
initialized at boot time.
Before onlining the node, current Powerpc code checks for NODE_DATA to
be NULL. However since NODE_DATA is partially initialized, this check
will end up always being false.
This causes hotplugging a CPU to a memoryless/cpuless node to fail.
Before adding CPUs
$ numactl -H

As we can see numactl is listing only 8 cores while lparstat is showing
33 cores.
Also dmesg is showing messages like:
