Please use of_device_is_available(node); "enable" is not a sensible value for
the status property, and "disable" (rather than "disabled") is simply unusual.
Neither "enable" nor "disable" are correct values for the status property.
What is the value in the reg property, exactly? Is there a unique ID in
hardware for each CPU in the system?
It would be good to document this, e.g. as arm does in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt

What happens if/when the value in the reg property is larger than NR_CPUS?

I don't see a start address being setup here, so I assume that CPUs branch to a
fixed address out-of-reset. Does that mean that the kernel has to be loaded at
a particular physical address on a given platform?
Thanks,
Mark.
