+==========================================
+ARM CPUs capacity bindings
+==========================================
+
+==========================================
+1 - Introduction
+==========================================
+
+ARM systems may be configured to have cpus with different power/performance
+characteristics within the same chip. In this case, additional information
+has to be made available to the kernel (the scheduler in particular) for
+it to be aware of such differences and take decisions accordingly.
+
+==========================================
+2 - CPU capacity definition
+==========================================
+
+CPU capacity is a number that provides the scheduler information about CPUs
+heterogeneity. Such heterogeneity can come from micro-architectural differences
+(e.g., ARM big.LITTLE systems) or maximum frequency at which CPUs can run
+(e.g., SMP systems with multiple frequency domains). Heterogeneity in this
+context is about differing performance characteristics; this binding tries to
+capture a first-order approximation of the relative performance of CPUs.
+
+One simple way to estimate CPU capacities is to iteratively run a well-known
+CPU user space benchmark (e.g, sysbench, dhrystone, etc.) on each CPU at
+maximum frequency and then normalize values w.r.t.  the best performing CPU.
+One can also do a statistically significant study of a wide collection of
+benchmarks, but pros of such an approach are not really evident at the time of
+writing.
+
+==========================================
+3 - capacity-scale
+==========================================
+
+CPUs capacities are defined with respect to capacity-scale property in the cpus
+node [1]. The property is optional; if not defined a 1024 capacity-scale is
+assumed. This property defines both the highest CPU capacity present in the
+system and granularity of CPU capacity values.
+
+==========================================
+4 - capacity
+==========================================
+
+capacity is an optional cpu node [1] property: u32 value representing CPU
+capacity, relative to capacity-scale. It is required and enforced that capacity
+<= capacity-scale.
+
+===========================================
+5 - Examples
+===========================================
+
+Example 1 (ARM 64-bit, 6-cpu system, two clusters):
+capacity-scale is not defined, so it is assumed to be 1024
+
+cpus {
+	#address-cells = <2>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+
+	cpu-map {
+		cluster0 {
+			core0 {
+				cpu = <&A57_0>;
+			};
+			core1 {
+				cpu = <&A57_1>;
+			};
+		};
+
+		cluster1 {
+			core0 {
+				cpu = <&A53_0>;
+			};
+			core1 {
+				cpu = <&A53_1>;
+			};
+			core2 {
+				cpu = <&A53_2>;
+			};
+			core3 {
+				cpu = <&A53_3>;
+			};
+		};
+	};

+
+Example 2 (ARM 32-bit, 4-cpu system, two clusters,
+	   cpus 0,1@1GHz, cpus 2,3@500MHz):
+capacity-scale is equal to 2, so first cluster is twice faster than second
+cluster (which matches with clock frequencies)
+
+cpus {
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+	capacity-scale = <2>;
+
+	cpu0: cpu@0 {
+		device_type = "cpu";
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <0>;
+		capacity = <2>;
+	};
+
+	cpu1: cpu@1 {
+		device_type = "cpu";
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <1>;
+		capacity = <2>;
+	};
+
+	cpu2: cpu@2 {
+		device_type = "cpu";
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <0x100>;
+		capacity = <1>;
+	};
+
+	cpu3: cpu@3 {
+		device_type = "cpu";
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
+		reg = <0x101>;
+		capacity = <1>;
+	};
