for_each_possible_cpu() is currently used to initialize cpuidle
in the PSCI cpuidle driver.
However, in cpu_dev_register_generic(), for_each_present_cpu()
is used to register CPU devices which means the CPU devices are
only registered for present CPUs and not all possible CPUs.
With nosmp or maxcpus=0, only the boot CPU is present, leading
to the failure:
| Failed to register cpuidle device for cpu1
Change for_each_possible_cpu() to for_each_present_cpu() in the
PSCI cpuidle driver to ensure it only registers cpuidle devices
for CPUs that are actually present.
Fixes: b0c69e1214bc ("drivers: base: Use present CPUs in GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES")

Is this problem specific to cpuidle-psci?
Others are using for_each_possible_cpu() when registering their cpuidle drivers.
Kind regards

Good point. I assumed as this was very old patch, only this is left without
conversion to using present_cpumask. Looks like there are many other drivers
that need similar change. May be PSCI is most commonly used ones these days
and hardly anyone tests with nosmp or maxcpus=1 on those platforms.
But yes, all the users of for_each_possible_cpu() need to move to
for_each_present_cpu() if they are relying on CPU device being registered.
