With ARMv8 cores some 4.x (BSP) kernels expose type of cpu0 like this in dmesg output:
4.9.280-sun50iw9: Boot CPU: AArch64 Processor [410fd034] <- Cortex-A53 / r0p4
4.9.272-meson64: Boot CPU: AArch64 Processor [411fd050] <- Cortex-A55 / r1p0 (S905X3)

4.9.0-yocto: Boot CPU: AArch64 Processor [411fd073] <- Cortex-A57 / r1p3 (Renesas R8A7795/R-Car H3)
...while starting with later 4.1x kernels and 5.x it looks like this:

Additional ARMv8 cores show up in dmesg output like this (always exposing MIDR_EL1 except for 5.4 kernels, e.g. Amlogic's for S4/T7):
