Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/11] ARM: DT: update cpu device of_node

From: Sudeep KarkadaNagesha <sudeep.karkadanagesha@....com>

As more and more information is getting added into the cpu node, the number
of drivers needing to parse the device tree for CPU nodes are increasing.
Most of the time, the information needed from the cpu node is preferred
in the logical CPU order. Hence many drivers first parse and search the
CPU node, match them to logical index if needed and then search for the
required property inside a particular cpu node. Some of them assume the
logical and physical CPU ordering to be same which is incorrect.

This patch series initialises the of_node in all the cpu devices when
registering the CPU device.
1. This avoids different drivers having to parse the cpu nodes to obtain
   different attributes like operating points, latency,...etc.
2. This handles different physical and logical cpu ordering which is not
   the case in current code.
3. Also all the cpu nodes will have their of_node initialised correctly.
   Currently different drivers assign them partially and incorrectly.
4. Removes all the reduntant parsing in various drivers.

Regards,
Sudeep
