Just to clarify, I am referring to "struct resources" you allocate for
use with the pmu platform device in the next patch.

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean PMU type in the above comment. I
was thinking of the missed cpu in cpu_count.

If the allocation succeeds in the next iteration (as we don't break out
of the loop), we'll end up undercounting cpus that have this type of
pmu. In turn, this will lead to accessing beyond the allocated "struct
resource" in arm_pmu_acpi_gsi_res.
