You already said who are current users, why restrict it to ARM and 
RISC-V here?

The cpu topology isn't dependent on anything beyond what the DT spec 
says for cpu nodes so I think this can be simplified to just refer to 
the spec.

Plus, shouldn't [2] (numa) be [3] here.

This is wrong. Looks like the root node, but called 'cpus'.
