ATM I did not see any ARM platform having a clock line per CPU but I may
be wrong.

AFAIR, if CPU0 is unplugged the cooling device can not rebind to CPU1.
And if CPU0 is plugged in again, the cooling device fails to initialize.
And, if the CPUs are mapped with the physical CPU0 to Linux numbering
CPU1, the cooling device mapping will fail.
