Right, we haven't updated the code after updating the bindings to match
ACPI sockets which are the physical package boundaries. Clusters are not
the physical boundaries and the current topology code is not 100% aligned
with the bindings after Commit 849b384f92bc ("Documentation: DT: arm: add
support for sockets defining package boundaries")

That is wrong, we have "socket" to describe the package_id now.
