Remove the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property' based solution
to set cpu capacity which was only working for Cortex-A15/A7 arm
big.LITTLE systems.

I.e. the 'capacity-dmips-mhz' based solution is now the only one. It is
shared between arm and arm64 and works for every big.LITTLE system no
matter which core types it consists of.

Hi Dietmar,

Removing cpu effificiency table looks good to me. Nevertheless, i have
some comments below for this patch.

AFAICT, this continue is now useless as it was there to skipe the cpu
table efficiency method

Why have you moved the call to topology_normalize_cpu_scale() from
parse_dt_topology() to update_cpu_capacity() ?

You should keep it in parse_dt_topology() as itis part of the dt
parsing sequence

You can probably just removed update_cpu_capacity()

I fixed the issue with the continue statement. Moreover, I think we should also
remove the comment block about 'cpu capacity scale management' and 'cpu capacity
table' on top of  parse_dt_topology() because this is now all handled in
drivers/base/arch_topology.c.

Subject: [PATCH] arm: topology: remove cpu_efficiency

Remove the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property' based solution
to set cpu capacity which was only working for Cortex-A15/A7 arm
big.LITTLE systems.

I.e. the 'capacity-dmips-mhz' based solution is now the only one. It is
shared between arm and arm64 and works for every big.LITTLE system no
matter which core types it consists of.
