Commit Message

Dietmar Eggemann Oct. 12, 2017, 2 p.m. UTC
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.

We should call the of_node_put unconditionally  to balance the
of_get_cpu_node, isn't it ?
Note that this problem is also present without your change

Thanks for the review. Brendan mentioned this the other day already.

I could add an additional patch to the v3 with this code change. What do
you think?
