The cpu-map DT entry in ARM can describe the CPU topology in much better way compared to other existing approaches. RISC-V can easily adopt this binding to represent its 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 significant 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. There was an opportunity to unify topology data structure for ARM32 done by patch 3/4. But, I refrained from making any other changes as I am not very well versed with original intention for some functions that are present in arch_topology.c. I hope this patch series can be served as a baseline for such changes in the future. The patches have been tested for RISC-V and compile tested for ARM64, ARM32 & x86. The socket change[2] is also now part of this series.

FW_PAYLOAD_FDT="unleashed_topology.dtb" Changes from v5->v6 1. Added two more patches from Sudeep about maintainership of arch_topology.c and Kconfig update. 2. Added Tested-by & Reviewed-by 3. Fixed a nit (reordering of variables) Changes from v4-v5 1. Removed the arch_topology.h header inclusion from topology.c and arch_topology.c file. Added it in linux/topology.h. 2. core_id is set to -1 upon reset. Otherwise, ARM topology store function does not work. Changes from v3->v4 1. Get rid of ARM32 specific information in topology structure. 2. Remove redundant functions from ARM32 and use common code instead. Changes from v2->v3 1. Cover letter update with experiment DT for topology changes. 2. Added the patch for [2]. Changes from v1->v2 1. ARM32 can now use the common code as well.
