Add the following CPU cores: - apple,cyclone: A7 cores - apple,typhoon: A8 cores - apple,twister: A9 cores - apple,hurricane-zephyr: A10 logical cores - apple,monsoon: A11 performance cores - apple,mistral: A11 efficiency cores In the Apple A10, there are physical performance-efficiency cores that forms logical cores to software depending on the current p-state, and only one type of core may be active at one time.

You could take the opportunity to reshuffle icestorm and firestorm while you're at it.
(Same goes for the watchdog, pinctrl and cluster-cpufreq bindings) I am not actually sure what is the right thing to do here. It seems that these bindings are originally sorted using SoC types (desktop or mobile) and generations. But then again I have looked at some other in-tree bindings from asahi, and it seems to be a mix of alphabetical and logical sorting in the way mentioned above. Maybe we can get some clarification from an Asahi Maintainer? For the soc-level machine compatibles though, I believe that should be retaining the logical order instead of trying to use alphabetical order.
