Coregroup support on powerpc has so far been limited to PowerVM LPARs.
However, PowerNV can also support coregroups when firmware exposes the
required coregroup information through the associativity hierarchy.

Detect coregroup support by checking whether primary_domain_index is the
penultimate domain in the CPU node's ibm,associativity property. On
PowerNV, a non-penultimate primary_domain_index indicates that firmware
provides an additional level for coregroup information.

This keeps the logic compatible with PowerVM systems, where
primary_domain_index is likewise not the penultimate associativity
domain.

Do we care about it's return value? We are not reading that in the
patch.
this function is mainly only needed in __init, can we mark it so.

For PowerVM, we now have two places which will enable coregroup_enabled
during mem_topology_setup(). Is there some way we can unify that?

This also means we enable coregroup in case of PowerVM with SPLPAR when
per-cpu VPHN associativity index > primary_domain_index+1. But this
isn't reflected in your commit msg. The commit msg only says this
affects PowerNV.

Looks like leftover removed from previous patch. This change should be
