cpu-map binding can be used to described cpu topology for both
RISC-V & ARM. It makes more sense to move the binding to document
to a common place.

The relevant discussion can be found here.

<nit picking>

While socket is optional, its probably a good idea to include the node 
in the example even if the result is the same. That is because at least 
on arm64 the DT clusters=sockets decision had performance implications 
for larger systems.

Assuring the socket information is correct is helpful by itself to avoid 
having to explain why a single socket machine is displaying some other 
value in lscpu.

Just for my understanding, can you give a example?

That's simple. Today any ARM{32,64} DT based platform sets their cluster
id to physical package id, which is exposed to userspace. The userspace
can/must interpret that as multi-socket system. E.g. TC2/Juno which
2 clusters show up as 2 socket systems which is wrong and needs fixing.
We have fixed it for ARM64 ACPI based systems but for DT(mostly used in
mobile/embedded) we need to make sure we don't break anything else before
we fix it.
