Meson G12B SoCs (S922X and A311D) are a big-little design where not all CPUs are equal; the A53s cores are weaker than the A72s. Include capacity-dmips-mhz properties to tell the OS there is a difference in processing capacity. The dmips values are based on similar submissions for other A53/A72 SoCs: HiSilicon 3660 [1] and Rockchip RK3399 [2]. This change is particularly beneficial for use-cases like retro gaming where emulators often run on a single core. The OS now chooses an A72 core instead of an A53 core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
