Yes, you are right, I should have dropped RFC by now. Just one last
doubt I have and it is not really related to this patch but to the MCPM API.
I think that:

void mcpm_cpu_suspend()
void mcpm_cpu_power_down()

should fail gracefully with a return value instead of hitting a BUG_ON if the
platform_ops pointer is not initialized (ie likely to be a missing SCC node in
DT for TC2).

It is just a heads-up, thoughts appreciated, I really really do not want to
make this driver dependent on the vexpress SCC compatible string (or better on
the presence of an SCC DT node in the dts file), the compatible string we
are using should be correct.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
