Hi Rob,Olof,Rafael,

Since these changes are spread across multiple sub-systems, is it fine
if I split this and send pull request as below:

1. DT
   of: add support for retrieving cpu node for a given logical cpu index
   ARM: DT/kernel: define ARM specific arch_match_cpu_phys_id
   driver/core: cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's device struture
   of/device: add helper to get cpu device node from logical cpu index
2. ARM SoC(clearly specifying dependency on 1)
   ARM: topology: remove hwid/MPIDR dependency from cpu_capacity
   ARM: mvebu: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   drivers/bus: arm-cci: avoid parsing DT for cpu device nodes
3. CPUFreq(clearly specifying dependency on 1)
   cpufreq: imx6q-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: highbank-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: spear-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: kirkwood-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: arm_big_little: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: maple-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: pmac64-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes
   cpufreq: pmac32-cpufreq: remove device tree parsing for cpu nodes

Regards,
Sudeep
