That sounds fine to me.

Ok. In the absence of CPU_OFF, this is not yet a conforming PSCI 0.2
implementation, so I'm wary of marking this as PSCI 0.2 until that is
the case. Any attempt to power of CPUs will hit a BUG() in cpu_die(),
and we don't want that.

Is CPU0 hotplug planned?

If not, does your PSCI implementation report CPU0 as
non-hotpluggable via MIGRATE_INFO_TYPE reporting a UP not migratable
trusted OS (and MIGRATE_INFO_UP_CPU reporting CPU0 as the resident CPU)?

Are SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET available?

Thanks,
Mark.
