It appears that in downstream, logical CPUs 0-3 are mapped to the
little CPUs (physical IDs 0x100-0x103) and logical CPUs 4-7 are mapped
to the big CPUs (physical IDs 0x0-0x3), while mainline has it reversed
unlike most other Qualcomm platforms. Thanks for catching the
discrepancy, I wasn't aware that the CPU reg values actually mattered
before this.

It looks like the mainline logical CPU map for SDM660 was originally
copied from SDM630 and was not updated to match the conventional layout
for SDM660. I'm not familiar with SDM630, but on the SDM660 devices
I've seen, the boot CPU is CPU 0 on the little cluster (boot log is
from downstream but logical CPU numbers are not relevant here) as
indicated by the cpuid:
[ 0.000000] Boot CPU: AArch64 Processor [51af8014]
[ 0.029322] CPU1: Booted secondary processor [51af8014]
[ 0.034276] CPU2: Booted secondary processor [51af8014]
[ 0.039177] CPU3: Booted secondary processor [51af8014]
[ 0.044637] CPU4: Booted secondary processor [51af8002]
[ 0.049645] CPU5: Booted secondary processor [51af8002]
[ 0.054926] CPU6: Booted secondary processor [51af8002]
[ 0.059934] CPU7: Booted secondary processor [51af8002]
See downstream device trees for SDM630 [1] and SDM660 [2] - the cluster
order is different and only SDM630 matches the behavior you describe.
In either case, it works as long as the capacities are assigned to the
correct logical CPUs, so please disregard this patch if the current CPU
map is retained.
