This is what you are doing today (keeping on one CPU per cluster to
simplify it):

		cpu0: cpu at 0 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
			reg = <0x0>;
			clock-frequency = <1800000000>;
			cci-control-port = <&cci_control1>;
		};

		cpu4: cpu at 100 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
			reg = <0x100>;
			clock-frequency = <1000000000>;
			cci-control-port = <&cci_control0>;
		};

Then you overwrite it with:

                &cpu0 {
                	device_type = "cpu";
                	compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
                	reg = <0x100>;
                	clock-frequency = <1000000000>;
                	cci-control-port = <&cci_control0>;
                };
                
                &cpu4 {
                	device_type = "cpu";
                	compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
                	reg = <0x0>;
                	clock-frequency = <1800000000>;
                	cci-control-port = <&cci_control1>;
                };

Don't you think this isn't the right way of solving problems?

The DT overwrite feature isn't there to do such kind of stuff, though
it doesn't stop you from doing that.

Either you should keep separate paths for both the SoCs, or can solve
it the way I suggested earlier.

This came up because in the current series you are doing this:

		cpu0: cpu at 0 {
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
                        operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp_table>;
		};

		cpu4: cpu at 100 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
                        operating-points-v2 = <&cpu1_opp_table>;
		};

Then you overwrite it with:

                &cpu0 {
                	compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
                        operating-points-v2 = <&cpu1_opp_table>;
                };
                
                &cpu4 {
                	compatible = "arm,cortex-a15";
                        operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp_table>;
                };
