On ARM platforms GIC CPU IF id is probeable, you do not need to parse
it (ie it is not information that you will find in DT). Please have a look
at drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c.

We have to understand what's really required and when in ACPI, or to put it
differently, why cpu_physical_id(cpu) is required and at what time at
boot, I will have a look on my side too.

It is not about *reusing* cpu_logical_map, it is about setting it up
properly. cpu_logical_map must be initialized by ACPI for the spin table
method to work properly (and PSCI too).

And yes, cpu_physical_id(cpu) is expected to be the GIC CPU IF id on
ARM, at least it looks like, I had a look too. But this does not change
anything as far as cpu_logical_map is concerned, it must contain a list
of MPIDRs in the system and must be retrieved via ACPI, not DT CPU nodes
when ACPI is used for booting.

I will have a further look, since this discrepancy is annoying.

I do not see any usage in the patchset and certainly those variables are
not used in this patch, apart from printing messages whose usefulness is
debatable. If, as you say, you are using those variables for something
else, please add code in the patch where they are introduced for it to be
self-contained and to simplify the review.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
