Thinking about this more, this makes even less sense. When Tegra boots,
code runs on the AVP. That code is U-Boot. U-Boot then boots the A15
cores, and hence U-Boot is what decides whether to boot the LP or G
cluster; it doesn't follow some decision by some other SW since there is
no other SW.

The only possible exception to this might be resume from some low-power
state where you want to restart the same A15 cluster as was running
prior to entering sleep. But that would require the flow controller
register read by get_cluster_id() to be in an always-on power domain.
I'm not sure if that's true or not. (If it isnt', presumably the
power-on state would always be static, hence there would be no need to
read the register).
