Hello Rafael,

Do you think you will be able to pick up this series for 6.3? I'm going
to continue removing the pm_power_off from kernel, the new power-off API
feels stable now to me. I think the Samuel's improvement for the early
boot memory allocation will be good to have to avoid similar problem for
other drivers.

Ideally, the PSCI patch should get an ack, though the code change is
about the PM stuff, so perhaps will be fine to take it via PM tree if FW
maintainers will show no interest in the nearest time.

Thanks!
