Here is my understanding on this patch. This change is closely related to ACPI cpufreq driver(used mostly on Intel cores). This change was introduced to keep track of the related cpus as returned by ACPI firmware along with affected cpus as imposed by SW. I don't understand the exact difference in Intel cores. I believe it's just for tracking and not used much in the driver.

Then i believe we shouldn't fill the related_cpus field for ARM cores. As anyway the show_related_cpus will pick affected cpus in that case.
