Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: sdm660: Fix CPU capacities

sdm660 has a big.LITTLE 4+4 CPU setup with CPUs 0-3 being little cores
and CPUs 4-7 being big cores. The big cores have higher IPC, so they
should have the higher capacity-dmips-mhz, not the other way around as
the device tree currently describes it. Fix the incorrect CPU map to
improve EAS scheduling behavior.

While we're at it, let's replace the old DMIPS/MHz values with new
measurements that reflect the exact IPC of the CPUs as reported by
CoreMark.

Performance measurements were made using my freqbench [1]
benchmark coordinator, which isolates, offlines, and disables the timer
tick on test CPUs to maximize accuracy. It uses EEMBC CoreMark [2] as
the workload and measures power usage using the PM660 PMIC's fuel
gauge.

Normalized DMIPS/MHz capacity scale values for each CPU were calculated
from CoreMarks/MHz (CoreMark iterations per second per MHz), which
serves the same purpose. For each CPU, the final capacity-dmips-mhz
value is the C/MHz value of its maximum frequency normalized to
SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (1024) for the fastest CPU in the system.

A Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 device running a downstream Qualcomm 4.4 kernel
was used for benchmarking to ensure proper frequency scaling and other
low-level controls.

Raw benchmark results can be found in the freqbench repository [3].
