One comment below, but otherwise for patches 1-4, 8 and 9:

Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@...xeda.com>

Also, patch 3 needs to come before patch 2 or the matching will be wrong
if patch 3 is not applied.

What happens on a system with no /cpus nodes? Seems like this is another
case of adding new warnings to existing working systems.

I'd replace all the WARN's with a single pr_warn on any errors below.
For missing /cpus, I would just silently return.
