When a CPU is marked as disabled, but online capable in the MADT, PSCI
applies some firmware policy to control when it can be brought online.
PSCI returns DENIED to a CPU_ON request if this is not currently
permitted. The OS can learn the current policy from the _STA enabled bit.

Handle the PSCI DENIED return code gracefully instead of printing an
error.

Specification reference would be good particularly as it's only been
added as a possibility fairly recently.

Hmm. EPROBE_DEFER has very specific meaning around driver requesting a retry
when some other bit of the system has finished booting. 
I'm not sure it's a good idea for this use case.  Maybe just keep to EPERM
as psci_to_linux_errno() will return anyway.  Seems valid to me, or
is the requirement to use EPROBE_DEFER coming from further up the stack?

It seems DENIED is the best matched indicator.

I agree with Jonathan that -EPERM from psci_to_linux_errno(DENIED) is
good enough here. Actually, I think we need to bail from bringing up
the CPU once error is raised on psci_ops.cpu_on() and avoid reporting
it as error with help of -EPROBE_DEFER. -EPERM can serve the same
purpose.
