This patch-set should define _one_ way to be able to specify
heterogeneous cpu capacity values for all arm and arm64 systems. So I
would really like that we can agree on this solution ('capacity'
property) and delete the old (cortex-a[15,7] only) solution based on
struct cpu_efficiency table_efficiency[] and 'clock-frequency' property
in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c. The appropriate code in
arch/arm[,64]/kernel/topology.c should be the same. Everything else is
highly confusing.
