Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] Fix issues and factorize arm/arm64 capacity information code

Hi,

arm and arm64 topology.c share a lot of code related to parsing of capacity
information. This is v4 of a solution [1] (based on Will's, Catalin's and
Mark's off-line suggestions) to move such common code in a single place:
drivers/base/arch_topology.c (by creating such file and conditionally compiling
it for arm and arm64 only).

First 4 patches are actually fixes for the current code.

Patch 5 is the actual refactoring.

Patch 6 removes one of the extern symbols by changing a bit the now common
code.

Patch 7 removes the remaining externs (as required by Russell during v1 review)
by creating a new header file include/linux/arch_topology.h and including that
from arm, arm64 and drivers.

Last patch addresses Dietmar's comments to v1 and adds a 'atd_' prefix to
interfaces exported by drivers code and used by arch (and potentially others in
the future).

Changes from v3:

 - rebase on top of 4.11-rc7
 - addressed Vincent's comment on patch 3/8
 - removed v3 6/9 as discussed with Russell
 - added Russell and Catalin's Acked-by

The set is based on top of linux/master (4.11-rc7 f61143c45077) and it is also
available from:

 git://linux-arm.org/linux-jl.git upstream/default_caps_factorize-v4

Best,

- Juri
