Could you be more specific please?  I didn't notice anything particular
in my testing but then the fact that it's a model does obscure a lot of
things.

This was deliberate - since we are not willing to use the MPIDR
information to discover the topology we need to get the information into
the DT bindings in order to discover it.  Even in a SMP system there is
a difference in how closely attached the cores are so it seems like we
should be expecting a description of the topology.
