What does lscpu show? I suspect being a big.little platform you'll
find that all the CPUs work but it might only run one cluster at a
time, or only power up the second cluster under load. I'm not sure
what the algorithms the cpu frequency drivers use for the exynos
platforms, I suspect it depends on other factors as well such as
thermal temp (the tmon util in kernel-tools might give you insight
there).
