Not just should: the PLIC driver assumed this was the return flavor and
will overflow a per_cpu because it doesn't detect the error. IIUC this
will manifest if we have more harts that NR_CPUS, which is a possible
configuration.
That said, it's gone unnoticed for ~3 years so I'm inclined to leave it
out of fixes because I have nothing else and this late in the cycle is
always a bit touchy. It's kind of splitting hairs as it'll just get
backported, but post-rc8 is an odd spot to be in.
Is this actually manifesting as a crash for you?
Sorry I missed this last week.

Also
Fixes: f99fb607fb2b ("RISC-V: Use Linux logical CPU number instead of hartid")
which is what actually manifests the bug -- again, kind of splitting
hairs as it's the patch after.
