arm64: topology: Allow specifying the CPU efficiency from device tree
The efficiency of a CPU can vary across SoCs depending on the cache size, bus interconnect frequencies etc. Allow specifying this from the device tree. This value overrides the default values hardcoded in the efficiency table. Change-Id: Ie9ba69e11317e6eb6462630226355747d1def646 Signed-off-by: Pavankumar Kondeti <pkondeti@codeaurora.org>
