dt-bindings: arm: move cpu-capacity to a shared loation
RISC-V uses the same generic topology code as arm64 & while there currently exists no binding for cpu-capacity on RISC-V, the code paths can be hit if the property is present. Move the documentation of cpu-capacity to a shared location, ahead of defining a binding for capacity-dmips-mhz on RISC-V. Update some references to this document in the process.

-==========================================
-ARM CPUs capacity bindings
-==========================================
-
-==========================================
-1 - Introduction
-==========================================
-
-ARM systems may be configured to have cpus with different power/performance
-characteristics within the same chip. In this case, additional information has
-to be made available to the kernel for it to be aware of such differences and
-take decisions accordingly.
-
-==========================================
-2 - CPU capacity definition
-==========================================
-
-CPU capacity is a number that provides the scheduler information about CPUs
-heterogeneity. Such heterogeneity can come from micro-architectural differences
-(e.g., ARM big.LITTLE systems) or maximum frequency at which CPUs can run
-(e.g., SMP systems with multiple frequency domains). Heterogeneity in this
-context is about differing performance characteristics; this binding tries to
-capture a first-order approximation of the relative performance of CPUs.
-
-CPU capacities are obtained by running a suitable benchmark. This binding makes
-no guarantees on the validity or suitability of any particular benchmark, the
-final capacity should, however, be:
-
-* A "single-threaded" or CPU affine benchmark
-* Divided by the running frequency of the CPU executing the benchmark
-* Not subject to dynamic frequency scaling of the CPU
-
-For the time being we however advise usage of the Dhrystone benchmark. What
-above thus becomes:
-
-CPU capacities are obtained by running the Dhrystone benchmark on each CPU at
-max frequency (with caches enabled). The obtained DMIPS score is then divided
-by the frequency (in MHz) at which the benchmark has been run, so that
-DMIPS/MHz are obtained. Such values are then normalized w.r.t. the highest
-score obtained in the system.
-
-==========================================
-3 - capacity-dmips-mhz
-==========================================
-
-capacity-dmips-mhz is an optional cpu node [1] property: u32 value
-representing CPU capacity expressed in normalized DMIPS/MHz. At boot time, the
-maximum frequency available to the cpu is then used to calculate the capacity
-value internally used by the kernel.
-
-capacity-dmips-mhz property is all-or-nothing: if it is specified for a cpu
-node, it has to be specified for every other cpu nodes, or the system will
-fall back to the default capacity value for every CPU. If cpufreq is not
-available, final capacities are calculated by directly using capacity-dmips-
-mhz values (normalized w.r.t. the highest value found while parsing the DT).
-
-===========================================
-4 - Examples
-===========================================
-
-Example 1 (ARM 64-bit, 6-cpu system, two clusters):
-The capacities-dmips-mhz or DMIPS/MHz values (scaled to 1024)
-are 1024 and 578 for cluster0 and cluster1. Further normalization
-is done by the operating system based on cluster0@max-freq=1100 and
-cluster1@max-freq=850, final capacities are 1024 for cluster0 and
-446 for cluster1 (578*850/1100).
