cpu-map binding can be used to described cpu topology for both
RISC-V & ARM. It makes more sense to move the binding to document
to a common place.

The relevant discussion can be found here.

-===========================================
-ARM topology binding description
-===========================================
-
-===========================================
-1 - Introduction
-===========================================
-
-In an ARM system, the hierarchy of CPUs is defined through three entities that
-are used to describe the layout of physical CPUs in the system:
-
-- cluster
-- core
-- thread
-
-The cpu nodes (bindings defined in [1]) represent the devices that
-correspond to physical CPUs and are to be mapped to the hierarchy levels.
-
-The bottom hierarchy level sits at core or thread level depending on whether
-symmetric multi-threading (SMT) is supported or not.
-
-For instance in a system where CPUs support SMT, "cpu" nodes represent all
-threads existing in the system and map to the hierarchy level "thread" above.
-In systems where SMT is not supported "cpu" nodes represent all cores present
-in the system and map to the hierarchy level "core" above.
-
-ARM topology bindings allow one to associate cpu nodes with hierarchical groups
-corresponding to the system hierarchy; syntactically they are defined as device
-tree nodes.
-
-The remainder of this document provides the topology bindings for ARM, based
-on the Devicetree Specification, available from:
-
-https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/
-
-If not stated otherwise, whenever a reference to a cpu node phandle is made its
-value must point to a cpu node compliant with the cpu node bindings as
-documented in [1].
-A topology description containing phandles to cpu nodes that are not compliant
-with bindings standardized in [1] is therefore considered invalid.
-
-===========================================
-2 - cpu-map node
-===========================================
-
-The ARM CPU topology is defined within the cpu-map node, which is a direct
-child of the cpus node and provides a container where the actual topology
-nodes are listed.
-
-- cpu-map node
-
-	Usage: Optional - On ARM SMP systems provide CPUs topology to the OS.
-			  ARM uniprocessor systems do not require a topology
-			  description and therefore should not define a
-			  cpu-map node.
-
-	Description: The cpu-map node is just a container node where its
-		     subnodes describe the CPU topology.
-
-	Node name must be "cpu-map".
-
-	The cpu-map node's parent node must be the cpus node.
-
-	The cpu-map node's child nodes can be:
-
-	- one or more cluster nodes
-
-	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-The cpu-map node can only contain three types of child nodes:
-
-- cluster node
-- core node
-- thread node
-
-whose bindings are described in paragraph 3.
-
-The nodes describing the CPU topology (cluster/core/thread) can only
-be defined within the cpu-map node and every core/thread in the system
-must be defined within the topology.  Any other configuration is
-invalid and therefore must be ignored.
-
-===========================================
-2.1 - cpu-map child nodes naming convention
-===========================================
-
-cpu-map child nodes must follow a naming convention where the node name
-must be "clusterN", "coreN", "threadN" depending on the node type (ie
-cluster/core/thread) (where N = {0, 1, ...} is the node number; nodes which
-are siblings within a single common parent node must be given a unique and
-sequential N value, starting from 0).
-cpu-map child nodes which do not share a common parent node can have the same
-name (ie same number N as other cpu-map child nodes at different device tree
-levels) since name uniqueness will be guaranteed by the device tree hierarchy.
-
-===========================================
-3 - cluster/core/thread node bindings
-===========================================
-
-Bindings for cluster/cpu/thread nodes are defined as follows:
-
-- cluster node
-
-	 Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
-		      per cluster. A system can contain several layers of
-		      clustering and cluster nodes can be contained in parent
-		      cluster nodes.
-
-	The cluster node name must be "clusterN" as described in 2.1 above.
-	A cluster node can not be a leaf node.
-
-	A cluster node's child nodes must be:
-
-	- one or more cluster nodes; or
-	- one or more core nodes
-
-	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-- core node
-
-	Description: must be declared in a cluster node, one node per core in
-		     the cluster. If the system does not support SMT, core
-		     nodes are leaf nodes, otherwise they become containers of
-		     thread nodes.
-
-	The core node name must be "coreN" as described in 2.1 above.
-
-	A core node must be a leaf node if SMT is not supported.
-
-	Properties for core nodes that are leaf nodes:
-
-	- cpu
-		Usage: required
-		Value type: <phandle>
-		Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to the
-			    core node.
-
-	If a core node is not a leaf node (CPUs supporting SMT) a core node's
-	child nodes can be:
-
-	- one or more thread nodes
-
-	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
-
-- thread node
-
-	Description: must be declared in a core node, one node per thread
-		     in the core if the system supports SMT. Thread nodes are
-		     always leaf nodes in the device tree.
-
-	The thread node name must be "threadN" as described in 2.1 above.
-
-	A thread node must be a leaf node.
-
-	A thread node must contain the following property:
-
-	- cpu
-		Usage: required
-		Value type: <phandle>
-		Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to
-			    the thread node.

+===========================================
+CPU topology binding description
+===========================================
+
+===========================================
+1 - Introduction
+===========================================
+
+In an ARM/RISC-V system, the hierarchy of CPUs is defined through three entities that
+are used to describe the layout of physical CPUs in the system:
+
+- cluster
+- core
+- thread
+
+The cpu nodes (bindings defined in [1] for ARM or [2] for RISC-V) represent the devices that
+correspond to physical CPUs and are to be mapped to the hierarchy levels.
+
+The bottom hierarchy level sits at core or thread level depending on whether
+symmetric multi-threading (SMT) is supported or not.
+
+For instance in a system where CPUs support SMT, "cpu" nodes represent all
+threads existing in the system and map to the hierarchy level "thread" above.
+In systems where SMT is not supported "cpu" nodes represent all cores present
+in the system and map to the hierarchy level "core" above.
+
+CPU topology bindings allow one to associate cpu nodes with hierarchical groups
+corresponding to the system hierarchy; syntactically they are defined as device
+tree nodes.
+
+The remainder of this document provides the topology bindings for ARM/RISC-V, based
+on the Devicetree Specification, available from:
+
+https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/
+
+If not stated otherwise, whenever a reference to a cpu node phandle is made its
+value must point to a cpu node compliant with the cpu node bindings as
+documented in [1].
+A topology description containing phandles to cpu nodes that are not compliant
+with bindings standardized in [1] is therefore considered invalid.
+
+===========================================
+2 - cpu-map node
+===========================================
+
+The ARM/RISC-V CPU topology is defined within the cpu-map node, which is a direct
+child of the cpus node and provides a container where the actual topology
+nodes are listed.
+
+- cpu-map node
+
+	Usage: Optional - On SMP systems provide CPUs topology to the OS.
+			  Uniprocessor systems do not require a topology
+			  description and therefore should not define a
+			  cpu-map node.
+
+	Description: The cpu-map node is just a container node where its
+		     subnodes describe the CPU topology.
+
+	Node name must be "cpu-map".
+
+	The cpu-map node's parent node must be the cpus node.
+
+	The cpu-map node's child nodes can be:
+
+	- one or more cluster nodes
+
+	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+The cpu-map node can only contain three types of child nodes:
+
+- cluster node
+- core node
+- thread node
+
+whose bindings are described in paragraph 3.
+
+The nodes describing the CPU topology (cluster/core/thread) can only
+be defined within the cpu-map node and every core/thread in the system
+must be defined within the topology.  Any other configuration is
+invalid and therefore must be ignored.
+
+===========================================
+2.1 - cpu-map child nodes naming convention
+===========================================
+
+cpu-map child nodes must follow a naming convention where the node name
+must be "clusterN", "coreN", "threadN" depending on the node type (ie
+cluster/core/thread) (where N = {0, 1, ...} is the node number; nodes which
+are siblings within a single common parent node must be given a unique and
+sequential N value, starting from 0).
+cpu-map child nodes which do not share a common parent node can have the same
+name (ie same number N as other cpu-map child nodes at different device tree
+levels) since name uniqueness will be guaranteed by the device tree hierarchy.
+
+===========================================
+3 - cluster/core/thread node bindings
+===========================================
+
+Bindings for cluster/cpu/thread nodes are defined as follows:
+
+- cluster node
+
+	 Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
+		      per cluster. A system can contain several layers of
+		      clustering and cluster nodes can be contained in parent
+		      cluster nodes.
+
+	The cluster node name must be "clusterN" as described in 2.1 above.
+	A cluster node can not be a leaf node.
+
+	A cluster node's child nodes must be:
+
+	- one or more cluster nodes; or
+	- one or more core nodes
+
+	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+- core node
+
+	Description: must be declared in a cluster node, one node per core in
+		     the cluster. If the system does not support SMT, core
+		     nodes are leaf nodes, otherwise they become containers of
+		     thread nodes.
+
+	The core node name must be "coreN" as described in 2.1 above.
+
+	A core node must be a leaf node if SMT is not supported.
+
+	Properties for core nodes that are leaf nodes:
+
+	- cpu
+		Usage: required
+		Value type: <phandle>
+		Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to the
+			    core node.
+
+	If a core node is not a leaf node (CPUs supporting SMT) a core node's
+	child nodes can be:
+
+	- one or more thread nodes
+
+	Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+- thread node
+
+	Description: must be declared in a core node, one node per thread
+		     in the core if the system supports SMT. Thread nodes are
+		     always leaf nodes in the device tree.
+
+	The thread node name must be "threadN" as described in 2.1 above.
+
+	A thread node must be a leaf node.
+
+	A thread node must contain the following property:
+
+	- cpu
+		Usage: required
+		Value type: <phandle>
+		Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to
+			    the thread node.
+
