Could you help to explain here?
I understand there are two abnormal cases:
1. The cpu node exist in the device tree, but not a possible cpu.
This case can be caught by of_cpu_node_to_id's return value.
2. The cpu node does not exist.
This case can be caught by above logic. Or do you think
of_parse_phandle's return value is enough?
