Got your point. In fact CPUs are numbered 0-3 and ordered into 2 clusters in the DT:

cpus {
	#address-cells = <2>;
	#size-cells = <0>;

	CPU0: cpu@0 {
		...
		reg = <0x0 0x0>;
		...
	};

	CPU1: cpu@1 {
		...
		reg = <0x0 0x1>;
		...
	};

	CPU2: cpu@100 {
		...
		reg = <0x0 0x100>;
		...
	};

	CPU3: cpu@101 {
		...
		reg = <0x0 0x101>;
		...
	};

	cpu-map {
		cluster0 {
			core0 {
				cpu = <&CPU0>;
			};

			core1 {
				cpu = <&CPU1>;
			};
		};

		cluster1 {
			core0 {
				cpu = <&CPU2>;
			};

			core1 {
				cpu = <&CPU3>;
			};
		};
	};
};

As far, as I understand, they are probed in the same order. However, to be certain that the physical CPU is the one I intend to configure, I have to fetch the device structure pointer for the cpu-map -> clusterX -> core0 -> cpu path. Could you suggest a kernel API to do that?
