As discussed I came up with a different set of patches that
detect CCI ports status as reported by DT and prevent enabling
MCPM if the CCI ports are not under kernel control (eg they are
reported as "disabled" by DT since we booted in HYP).

I will post patches for review and test shortly.

Thanks for fixing it anyway,
Lorenzo
