Fair enough, but then you don't need the power_cpu_init() call at all.

But your loop does not cover anything beyond the first socket. So you need a
separate init function which does:

for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
target = cpumask_first(topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu));
if (!cpumask_test_cpu(target, cpumask))
cpumask_set_cpu(target, cpumask);
}
