I've tested both 4.19.0-1073 and 5.0.0-1103 on a RockPro64, they both work fine (although there is no hdmi output, as expected). But I have the feeling the A72 cores are not properly identified as such (the system shows 6 identical cores maxing out at 1.5 GHz, heavy processes keep moving between all the cores instead of favoring the A72 cores). I've also tried to get more information about what the OS sees, running "dmidecode -t 4" and this crashed the whole system...
I am using Armbian where I've manually installed Ayufan's kernel packages and using dtbs in /boot/dtb from 4.4 from Armbian. These are much more detailed than dtb files in Ayufan's kernel sources, so I am wondering if somehow my /boot/dtb files are not used , leading the the A72 cores not be properly identified... Any tip?

PS: is it stupid to use rock64 kernels on a rockpro64 board?
