Hello Vince,
Thanks for the work you've done to get 8 cores working on the
Odroid-XU4. Here is the output you asked of Andreas from my XU4 running
the latest fedora kernel:

Note the following:
* Although 8 cores are recognized, the "lscpu" command (and the
"dmesg" snippet) recognizes only the A7 processor.
* The default cpu governor is "ondemand" providing a cpu frequency of
700 MHz for all cores per the output of the first "cpupower
frequency-info" above.
* The cpu governor and frequency can be changed to "performance" and
1300 MHz, respectively by using the command "cpupower frequency-set
--governor performance", but this is not persistent between
reboots. To make it persistent between reboots follow this
procedure:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/39964/how-to-permanently-set-cp...
* Note the last two lines in the "dmesg" command. There may be
additional code required in the bootloader or firmware to recognize
the A15 processor correctly. Does anyone have any ideas here?
