E-Cores are not:
CPU 4: 0x0000000b 0x01: eax=0x00000006 ebx=0x0000000c ecx=0x00000201 edx=0x00000010

As the topology is evaluated from CPU0 CPUID leaf 0x1f it's obvious that CPU4...11 will trigger the sanity checks because their CPUID leaf 0x1f subleaf 1 entries are bogus.
IOW it's a firmware bug and there is nothing the kernel will and can do about it except what it does already: complaining about the inconsistency.
Thanks for providing all the information!
