With v4.5-rc5, EBB6800 is booting fine:

You shouldn't have CPU32 in that case, the numbering starts from zero.
Also the coremask is 32-bit.

I can reproduce your issue with CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64. Possibly this code
is incorrect for NR_CPUS bigger than 32:

        /* The present CPUs get the lowest CPU numbers. */
        cpus = 1;
        for (id = 0; id < NR_CPUS; id++) {
                if ((id != coreid) && (core_mask & (1 << id))) {
                        set_cpu_possible(cpus, true);
                        set_cpu_present(cpus, true);

What CONFIG_NR_CPUS did you use?

A.
