So, for loongarch:

grep arch_.*register_cpu arch/loongarch/ -r
arch/loongarch/kernel/topology.c:int arch_register_cpu(int cpu)
arch/loongarch/kernel/topology.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(arch_register_cpu);
arch/loongarch/kernel/topology.c:void arch_unregister_cpu(int cpu)
arch/loongarch/kernel/topology.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(arch_unregister_cpu);

So really this is a fix (since these functions should have prototypes)
and thus should probably be a separate patch.

However, I also wonder whether these prototypes should be added to
linux/cpu.h and be done with it (rather than have every arch prototype
these - it's not like the prototype can be different from this because
of the generic code.

I know in subsequent patches you do that, but it's rather piecemeal,
and I think this is a change that could be submitted now as both a
fix and clean up.
