For the purposes of handling different firmware implementations (which
may have different bugs to work around and may require different
arguments to cpu_suspend), it may be better to state "must contain"
rather than "must be".

The low bits of CPU_SUSPEND's power_state argument are platform specific
and we'll need to deal with them if an implementation actually uses them
for something. We can probably associate this with a specific
implementation's compatible string, as we'll almost certainly need
special code to handle the differences between them.

If we have a compatible string for the first platform that ignores the
argument (or just uses zero), that can be shared by all those
implementations that don't give any fine-grained control here.

One of the things changed in PSCI 0.2 was the SMC calling convention,
though this isn't clear in the PSCI document. The function IDs for 32bit
and 64bit callers may differ, and we need to support describing an
arbitrary configuration of the two (same ID for both, different across
32-bit/64-bit, only supported for 64-bit, only supported for 32-bit).

I'd like to ensure the binding can deal with that from the start. We
could do this by having -32 and -64 variants of each function id (e.g.
cpu_off-64) , if the IDs actually differ, and use the regular combined
ID if they don't.

Thanks,
Mark.
