For qcom-spm driver, it has below code logic to handle no cpu device case, and
no rollback to cancel the whole cpuidle registration. So I just leave it as it is.
Do we need to update it?

for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
        ret = spm_cpuidle_register(&pdev->dev, cpu);
        if (ret && ret != -ENODEV) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev,
                        "Cannot register for CPU%d: %d\n", cpu, ret);
        }
}
