Secondary CPUs should have the same information in DeviceTree as booting
CPU from both correctness point of view and for possible hotplug
scenarios.

The "cooling-min-level" and "cooling-max-level" properties are not
parsed by any part of the kernel currently and the max cooling state of
a CPU cooling device is found by referring to the cpufreq table instead.
Remove the unused properties from the CPU nodes.

Enable support for ARM Performance Monitoring Units available in Cortex-A7
and Cortex-A15 CPU cores for Exynos54xx SoCs (5410, 5420 and 5422/5800).
The PMUs interrupts are defined in the common exynos54xx.dtsi device tree,
but the PMUs are enabled and have their interrupt CPU affinity defined
next to each SoC's cpus node.
Tested with perf on Odroid XU4 (Exynos5422):
armv7_cortex_a7 PMU driver: 5 counters available
armv7_cortex_a15 PMU driver: 7 counters available

The following 'capacity-dmips-mhz' dt property values are used:
Cortex-A15: 1024, Cortex-A7: 539
They have been derived from the cpu_efficiency values:
Cortex-A15: 3891, Cortex-A7: 2048
by scaling them so that the Cortex-A15s (big cores) use 1024.
The cpu_efficiency values were originally derived from the "Big.LITTLE
Processing with ARM Cortex™-A15 & Cortex-A7" white paper
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rdm34/big.LITTLE.pdf). Table 1 lists 1.9x
(3891/2048) as the Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio for the
Dhrystone benchmark.
The following platforms are affected once cpu-invariant accounting
support is re-connected to the task scheduler:
arndale-octa, peach-pi, peach-pit, smdk5420
The patch has been tested on Samsung Chromebook 2 13" (peach-pi, Exynos
5800).
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity
1024
1024
1024
1024
389

389
The Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 1024/389 = 2.63.
The values derived with the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property'
solution are:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity
1535
1535
1535
1535

The Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 1535/448 = 3.43.
The discrepancy between 2.63 and 3.43 is due to the false assumption
when using the 'cpu_efficiency/clock-frequency dt property' solution
that the max cpu frequency of the little cpus is 1 GHZ and not 1.3 GHz.
The Cortex-A7 cluster runs with a max cpu frequency of 1.3 GHZ whereas
the 'clock-frequency' property value is set to 1 GHz.
3.43/1.3 = 2.64
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
1800000
1800000
1800000

Running another benchmark (single-threaded sysbench affine to the
individual cpus) with performance cpufreq governor on the Samsung
Chromebook 2 13" showed the following numbers:
$ for i in `seq 0 7`; do taskset -c $i sysbench --test=cpu
--num-threads=1 --max-time=10 run | grep "total number of events:";
done
total number of events: 1083
total number of events: 1085
total number of events: 1085
total number of events: 1085
total number of events: 454
total number of events: 454
total number of events: 454
total number of events: 454
The Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio is 2.39, i.e. very close
to the one derived from the Dhrystone based one of the "Big.LITTLE
Processing with ARM Cortex™-A15 & Cortex-A7" white paper (2.63).
We don't aim for exact values for the cpu capacity values. Besides the
CPI (Cycles Per Instruction), the instruction mix and whether the system
runs cpu-bound or memory-bound has an impact on the cpu capacity values
derived from these benchmark results.

Exynos5420 and Exynos5800 boards boot from big core (A15) but
Exynos5422 boards choose otherwise: LITTLE core (A7) (on Exynos5422 this
is property of the board - configurable by pulling up/down gpg2-1).
To make user-visible CPU ordering more consistent the 'cpus' node was
overridden by exynos5422-cpus.dtsi.
However this is a little bit ugly and error-prone. Overriding the CPU
child nodes requires to basically reverse what was done initially in
exynos5420.dtsi.
Instead, split CPU configuration entirely to separate files which should
be included by board DTS.
