I was thinking about an erroneous dts file like:
cpu-map {
cluster0 {
core0 {
thread0 {
cpu = <&A53_0>;
};
thread1 {
cpu = <&A53_1>;
};
};
core1 {
thread0 {
cpu = <&A53_2>;
};
thread1 {
cpu = <&A53_3>;
};
};
core2 {
thread0 {
cpu = <&A53_4>;
};
thread1 {
cpu = <&A53_5>;
};
};
};
cluster1 {
core0 {
thread0 {
cpu = <&A53_6>;
};
thread1 {
cpu = <&A53_7>;
};
};
};
};
A53_0: cpu@0 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <446>;
A53_1: cpu@1 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;
A53_2: cpu@2 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <871>;
A53_3: cpu@3 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;
A53_4: cpu@4 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <446>;
A53_5: cpu@5 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <871>;
A53_6: cpu@6 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;
A53_7: cpu@7 {
capacity-dmips-mhz = <1024>;
Here I guess SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY will be attached to SMT[0-5]. So this
'capacity-dmips-mhz' config error won't be detected.
In case all CPUs (i.e. hw threads would have the correct
capacity-dmips-mhz = <1024> or not being set (default 1024))
asym_cap_list would corrcetly only have 1 entry.
