Do you mean to change existing file name from 'cpus.yaml' to 'cpu.yaml' 
and create new 'cpus.yaml' file?
I think it's better to incorporate the change in existing 'cpus.yaml' 
file to keep both cpu at X and cpus node details together. Please suggest.

No, T194 SOC has homogeneous architecture with four clusters where each 
cluster has two symmetric cores. 'nvidia,tegra194-carmel' compatible 
string represents each cpu. 'nvidia,tegra194-ccplex' string represents 
the CPU Complex to bind cpufreq driver. The change was done as per 
discussion [1]
