It looks that cpufreq-dt and/or opp drivers needs some adjustments
related with this change.
That's strange. Is this with defconfig? I wonder whether NR_CPUS being
larger caused the issue with this specific code. Otherwise
CPUMASK_OFFSTACK may not work that well on arm64.
cpumask handling must use the accessor functions provided in
include/linux/cpumask.h for declaring and accessing cpumasks. It is likely
related to the driver opencoding one of the accessors.
I took a look at both the OPP code and the cpufreq-dt code and it looks like
those are doign the right thing w.r.t. cpumask manipulation (i.e. they only use
the cpumask accessors, and use the cpumask_var_*() functions to dynamically
allocate/free cpumasks). Maybe I've missed something, but superficially those
look right.

Marek, can you try reverting this commit and trying defconfig + NR_CPUS=512?
Yes, with $subject reverted and CONFIG_NR_CPUS=512 everything works
fine, so it must be something else broken.
Thanks for confirming. Would you mind testing the problematic commit
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled? If it doesn't show anything
obvious that can be fixed quickly, I'll revert the commit and queue it
again after -rc1 for 6.10 (I haven't sent 6.9 the pull request yet).
I've enabled this option, but unfortunately it didn't reveal anything 
more besides the warning and error I've posted in my initial report. I 
will try to analyze this issue further, but I won't manage to do this today.

Best regards
