No. One could have single CPU DT, where he doesn't need to provide the CPU number.
Hence, it doesn't make sense to WARN  in of_coresight_get_cpu().

But when we hit the case above, we find that the some node was registered for
the given CPU (be it 0 or any other), which is definitely an error in DT. Due to

1) Hasn't specified the CPU number for more than one node

OR

2) CPU number duplicated in the more than one nodes.
