I take this back, you have everything you need in place, nothing needs
to be done. I just checked again. If I don't register PSCI suspend_ops,
I still get mem in /sys/power/state with s2idle in /sys/power/mem_sleep
which is exactly what we need. Again we don't support standby/shallow
state on ARM64/PSCI.
