The PPA is PSCI compatible. The barebox PPA adapter called
of_psci_fixup() to register a PSCI node.

This is already done in of_psci_fixup().

The PSCI node in the barebox dts is only needed to probe the psci-client
driver which in turn creates/fixups the PSCI node for the kernel. We
already know that we started the TF-A. I thought about using this
knowledge to register the PSCI client driver without explicitly creating
a device node for it, but on the other hand there isn't too much gain in
doing so, so I just created a node for now.
