Please see my comment below regarding 'reg' property & cpu node naming.

Okay, will add a compatible string for APM-Xgene.

I would like to keep the cpu numbering as is (0 to 7). It helps the
boot-loader to iterate over cpu nodes based on logical numbers to do
fix-ups. Also here 'reg' property is not holding an address instead it
contains value to be compared with mpidr_el1.
