GXM (S912) is a big-little design with CPUs 0-3 clocked at 1.5GHz and CPUs 4-7 at 1.0GHz. Adding capacity-dmips-mhz attributes allows the scheduler to factor the different clock speeds into capacity calculations and prefer the higher-clocked cluster to improve overall performance. This was inspired by the similar change for G12B [0] boards. The diference here is that all cores are A53's so the same dmips-mhz value is used.
