kbase dt-bindings say that tasks are sent to cores in groups of N + 1,
where N is the value here. So our old behaviour sends tasks in groups of
1; the new behaviour sends tasks in groups of 16. I assume this has
performance implications but no conformance implications.

Searching GitHub, I can't find any device trees that set
idvs-group-size out of the many random Android forks people have
uploaded, so I don't think this will matter for any production device.
(Was this a workaround for preproduction silicon? or FPGAs? or was this
an option for the sake of having an option?)
