Yes, that's the "direct approach". I wanted to underline the fact that
there are two different max frequencies so what I followed would be:

1) Computing the performance ratio:
(129633887 / 287034147) * 1024 = 462.47

2) Scaling that to the same frequency scale:
462.47 * (2362/1844) = 592.38

Which gives the same end result (it's the same equation but split in two
steps). Also it makes it easy to check that the cpu_capacity sysfs entry
for the A53s gets correctly set (to 462).
