Hi Andrey,

big-LITTLE-MP-v2 is ready to be pulled in.

There's going to be an 'interesting' merge with our TC2 enablement branch.

In arch/arm/kernel/topology.c both branches factor out update_siblings_masks(), one of them modifies it.

And in the same file, both branches also add functions called parse_dt_topology() with different functionality. In the resolution I'm currently testing, I fixed this by renaming the version from big-LITTLE-MP-v2 to parse_dt_for_cpu_capacity() as that seemed an accurate description of what it did. Is it tool late to also do this in the MP branch?
