This is insufficient for big.LITTLE, no interrupt is possible, and we
haven't defined the rules for accessing the registers (e.g. whether
write backs are permitted).
Please see my prior comments [1] on those points.
If we're going to use this feature directly within the kernel, we need
to consider the envelope of possible implementations rather than your
use-case alone.

Silently ignoring fatal errors doesn't seem good.
Shouldn't this be checked after the valid bit?

Can the bit ranges not be determined at probe time rather than reading
the MIDR repeatedly?

The comments above also apply to parse_l2merrsr.

I don't think the use of old_mask is sufficient here, given the mapping
of logical to physical ID is arbitrary. For example, we could have CPUs
0,5,6,7 in one cluster, and CPUs 1,2,3,4 in another, and in that case
we'd check the first cluster twice.
This also is wrong for big.LITTLE; we can't necessarily check on every
CPU.
Thanks,
Mark.
