Ok what about the following change ?

"

If capacity-dmips-mhz is not specified or if the parsing fails, the
default capacity value will be computed against the highest frequency,
it will result most of the time on the same capacity value. However on
some platform with different OPP set but the same micro-architecture,
the capacity will be scaled down for CPUs having lower frequencies.
