defining or matching the MPIDR?

This is a bit questionable as device_type is deprecated for FDT.
However, since the ePAPR defines using it

You should add a compatible property for the cpu model.

I think all /cpu nodes would have the right type. You could use
for_each_child_of_node here.

Use of_property_read_u32.
