arm64: topology: Tell the scheduler about the relative power of cores
In non-heterogeneous systems like big.LITTLE systems the scheduler will be able to make better use of the available cores if we provide power numbers to it indicating their relative performance. Do this by parsing the CPU nodes in the DT. The power numbers are the same as for ARMv7 since it seems that the expected differential between the big and little cores is very similar on both ARMv7 and ARMv8. These numbers are just an initial and basic approximation for use with the current scheduler, it is likely that both experience with silicon and ongoing work on improving the scheduler will lead to further tuning.
