The use of the cpu_logical_map[] array is only relevant for MIPS based platform where this driver is used as a first level interrupt controller and contains multiple register groups to map with an associated CPU. On ARM/ARM64 based systems this interrupt controller is present and used as a second level interrupt controller hanging off the ARM GIC. That copy of the interrupt controller contains a single group, resulting in the intc->cpus[] array to be of size 1. Things happened to work in that case because we install that interrupt controller as a chained handler which does not allow it to be affine to any CPU but the boot CPU which happens to be 0, therefore we never de-reference past intc->cpus[] but with the current code in place, we do leave a chance of de-referencing the array past its bounds.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
