Re: [PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: sdm660: Fix CPU capacities

Hi!
I always had a feeling something is not right in those cpu
definitions, so cpus with reg 100-103 are little cores, and 0-3 big
ones?
But downstream sdm660.dtsi has a property "efficiency" [1] with values
which are larger for cores 100-103 than for 0-3 cores (1638 > 1024),
I'm confused...

Property "efficiency" is described in the same tree in [2].
