You are right, I did not think about that. Perhaps it's best to ignore
the available_harts mask in the count function as well then.

It just checked where cpu_get_count() is used. The Andes PLIC driver
(lib/andes_plic.c) uses it in a way that the patch might break the
driver. It iterates over all harts, assuming the first hart is 0 and
the last hart the result of cpu_get_count(). If any of the harts is set
to disabled, this will no longer be true. It's probably best to update
the driver to use the ofnode_for_each_subnode() macro to iterate over
all harts. Rick, can you update the driver?

Thanks,
Lukas
