I mentioned, these words were already used on other device drivers.
Exynos5433 used them to indicate the big.LITTLE cores consistently.
They are an alias for big.LITTLE. Latest Exynos SoC must use these words continuously.
I think that each vendor SoC could define the alias or expression for their SoC.
