I think that really only makes sense if CPU cores have independent clock
rate management. IIRC, I actually made some research about this in the
past and intentionally removed the secondary cores from the
cooling-device since they didn't make any difference for a coupled CPU
cores.

That commit also says:

"But as soon as this CPU ordering changes and any other CPU is used to
bring up the cooling device, we will start seeing failures."

I don't quite understand to what "failures" that commit referrers. I
tried to change the cpu0 to cpu1 in the cooling-device and don't see any
failures. Could you please clarify this?

In general it should be fine to add all the cores to the cooling-device
and I'll do it in v3, but I want to make it clear why this is needed.
