[PATCH 1/5] ARM: bL_switcher: Don't enable bL switcher on systems without CCI

From: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic at chromium.org>
Do not enable the big.LITTLE switcher on systems that do not have an
ARM CCI (cache-coherent interconnect) present. Since the CCI is used
to maintain cache coherency between multiple clusters and peripherals,
it is unlikely that a system without CCI would support big.LITTLE.
