This is not checkpatch clean, need to enclose the if / else in { }
Anyhow, it seems we don't need this as ARC set_cpu_possible() will be overridden
by your init_early_smp() hook anyways ? We don't need to generalize it as I don't
foresee other platforms needing it.

With the existing DT based cpu bitmap setting in your platform code, can we
instead do something like below in smp_prepare_cpus():
if (num_present_cpus() <= 1) { /* boot already marked present in init/main.c */
for (i = 0; i < max_cpus; i++)
set_cpu_present(i, true);
}
So to summarize you keep the existing DT based cpu bitmap settings in your
platform code and just add one workaround to not over-ride present map in ARC
common code.
