I believe GICC should be 8KiB here.

Do you have a complete PSCI 0.2 implementation (e.g. are all the
mandatory functions implemented)?

I take it CPUs enter the kernel at EL2?

How have you tested this?

Please remove the clock-frequency property. Your FW should initialise
CNTFRQ_EL0 on all CPUs (certainly PSCI 0.2 requires that you do this).

Get rid of the "clocks" container node. There's no need for it.

Thanks,
