Why is this so big?

pr_debug instead? It's not fatal if a CPU is hotplugged off and you can't
read its midr.

Do you actually need a temporary variable for this?

If midr really needs to be unsigned long long (u64 might be better), then
you need to fix these immediates to have a ULL suffix.

Can you use the GENMASK_ULL macro to generate the MIDR mask, or is that
not available here?

If you want the pr_err, here would seem more appropriate because at this
point we've actually failed.
