I take it that as with Potenza there won't be PSCI?

The range covered by the cpu-release-addr exists in the memory node and
there's no /memreserve/, so this is broken.

Please fix this so the release address and the code the secondaries are
executing to poll it can't be accidentally clobbered.

Nothing in this patch seems to require this ranges entry. Remove it
until it's necessary.

CNTFRQ should be programmed (on all CPUs) by the FW/bootloader prior to
entering the kernel.

If it isn't configured, virtualization is broken.

If it is configured, this is unnecessary and can be dropped from the
dts.

It would be good if /chosen/stdout-path were set up appropriately for
this.

Thanks,
