The issue I mentioned under
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/bd746cf0-0fdd-1ee6-d394-67fffb5d9b58@arm.com
still exists.

Btw, I recommend the following test strategy.

(A) Create a set of dts files which represent today's topologies in DT:

  (1) 8 CPUs flat (Arm DynamIQ single DSU)

  (2) 2 groups of 4 CPUs (e.g. hikey 960) (which covers Phantom* domain)

  (3) your QC SM8450 Armv9 tri-gear (4-3-1) DynamIQ single DSU w/ shared
      L2 btwn CPU0-1 and CPU2-3.
  ...

 * used in Android

(B) Compile dtb's

  dtc -I dts -O dtb -o foo.dtb foo.dts


(C) Run them under qemu w/ and w/o CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER and check:

  sudo qemu-system-aarch64 ... -dtb foo.dtb

  (1) sched domains:

      cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu*/domain*/name

  (2) sched flags:

      cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu*/domain*/flags

  (3) cpumasks:

      cat /proc/schedstat | awk '{print $1 " " $2 }' | grep ^[cd]

You can even mention the test results in your patch so that people see
that you already covered them. This will speed up the review-process
enormously.
