It is normal that firmware presents GICC entry or entries (processors)
with disabled flag in ACPI MADT, taking a system of 16 cpus for example,
ACPI firmware may present 8 enabled first with another 8 cpus disabled
in MADT, the disabled cpus can be hot-added later.

Firmware may also present more cpus than the hardware actually has, but
disabled the unused ones, and easily enable it when the hardware has such
cpus to make the firmware code scalable.

So that's not an error for disabled cpus in MADT, we can switch
pr_err() to pr_debug() instead.
