8217724eb7 doc: bindings: fix bad reference to ARM CPU bindings
The primecell.txt and cpus.txt files were converted into YAML. This
patch updates old references with new ones.

204c881e96 dt-bindings: arm: Explain capacities-dmips-mhz calculations in example
The example contains two values for the capacity currently, 446 in text
and 578 in code. The numbers are all correct but can confuse some of the
readers. This patch tries to explain how the numbers are calculated to
avoid same confusion going forward.

e9880240e4 arm64: dts: Fix various entry-method properties to reflect documentation
The idle-states binding documentation[1] mentions that the
'entry-method' property is required on 64-bit platforms and must be
set to "psci".

commit a13f18f59d ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states
bindings examples") attempted to fix this earlier but clearly more is
needed.

Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so
we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in
idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that
might be causing this confusion.

Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current
documentation.

de42fe116d Documentation: arm: define DT cpu capacity-dmips-mhz bindings
ARM systems may be configured to have cpus with different power/performance
characteristics within the same chip. In this case, additional information
has to be made available to the kernel (the scheduler in particular) for it
to be aware of such differences and take decisions accordingly.

Therefore, this patch aims at standardizing cpu capacities device tree
bindings for ARM platforms. Bindings define cpu capacity-dmips-mhz
parameter, to allow operating systems to retrieve such information from
the device tree and initialize related kernel structures, paving the way
for common code in the kernel to deal with heterogeneity.
