I'm not sure this is a u-boot question and you didn't show your code (I assume
you changed the file).

'swi' is not a WFI. swi takes a expression - the software interrupt number you
want to pass to the software interrupt exception routine. Your routine is free
to ignore that number, but a 'swi' must have one to have the correct syntax.

WFI on ARM SoC's is usually some kind of register write, specific to that SoC.
