The cpu-map DT entry in ARM64 can describe the CPU topology in
much better way compared to other existing approaches. RISC-V can
easily adopt this binding to represent it's own CPU topology.
Thus, both cpu-map DT binding and topology parsing code can be
moved to a common location so that RISC-V or any other
architecture can leverage that.
The relevant discussion regarding unifying cpu topology can be
found in [1].
arch_topology seems to be a perfect place to move the common
code. I have not introduced any functional changes in the moved
code. The only downside in this approach is that the capacity
code will be executed for RISC-V as well. But, it will exit
immediately after not able to find the appropriate DT node. If
the overhead is considered too much, we can always compile out
capacity related functions under a different config for the
architectures that do not support them.
The patches have been tested for RISC-V and compile tested for
ARM64 & x86.
The socket change[2] is also now part of this series.

Apologies for the previous patch series with incorrect title and
was sent only to kernel mailing list due to a bug in my config.
Please ignore that.

Seems to test fine on QDF2400.

Thanks for verifying the patches.
I did see that git am complained about patch #2 -
patch:103: space before tab in indent.
};
patch:114: space before tab in indent.
};
warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors.
Thanks for pointing it out. For some reason, cherry-pick did not
complain about these. I will fix them.
Regards,
Atish
