Thanks for this updates.

But I feel some DTS changes are missing for example
d2e5c871ed8a drivers: cpuidle: initialize big.LITTLE driver through DT

But I feel that this feature is not working as desired since
still some missing code changes for cluster idle states are missing.
like clock  PWR_CTR and PWR_CTRL2.
