Thank you so much!

The first entry, /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/4-0/raw, is only used,
so lscpu will show the same information of the SMBIOS type4 from
the entry even if the system has two diffrent cpu models, like
Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A72.
I'm not familiar with the heterogenous SoC, probably each
CPU model has own SMBIOS type4, right? for example, /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/4-0/raw
is for Cortex-A53 and /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/4-1/raw is for Cortex-A72.

I agree with you.

Thanks,
