How about:

static int acpi_processor_should_register_cpu(struct acpi_processor *pr)
{
	unsigned long long sta;
	acpi_status status;

	if (!acpi_has_method(pr->handle, "_STA"))
		return 0;

	status = acpi_evaluate_integer(pr->handle, "_STA", NULL, &sta);
	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
		return -ENODEV;

	if (sta & ACPI_STA_DEVICE_PRESENT && sta & ACPI_STA_DEVICE_ENABLED)
		return 0;

	if (cpu_online(pr->id)) {
		pr_err_once(FW_BUG
			    "CPU %u is online, but described as not present or disabled!\n",
			    pr->id);

		/* Register the CPU anyway */
		return 0;
	}

	return -ENODEV;
}

static int acpi_processor_make_enabled(struct acpi_processor *pr)
{
	int ret = acpi_processor_should_register_cpu(pr);

	if (ret)
		return ret;

	return arch_register_cpu(pr->id);
}

I would keep the "cpu online but !present and !disabled" as a sub-block
because it makes better reading flow, but instead break the message as
I've indicated above.
