Huh? 5410 only has the *A15* cluster described (and for whatever reason
mainline cannot bring up the A7 cluster even if you do add it).

Also*, the interrupt affinity properties are bogus as presented - those
will need to be delegated to the SoC-variant-specific dtsi files in the
same manner as the "cpus" nodes, to cope with the different CPU numberings.

Robin.
