Actually, i wasn't getting in new bindings for cpu/cluster for big
LITTLE but was
just trying to get bindings for getting freq-table for cpufreq driver.

Lorenzo (cc'd) actually has a patch for getting the bindings in and he
is looking
to send them soon. I know these can change after some review and the plan was
i will fix cpufreq bindings again once that patch is in. We don't have
any mainlined
hardware for it for now and so it wouldn't break anything.

I knew it and i messed up with it. Will surely take care of it next time.
