It simply is where we are today-- we don't have functioning PSCI yet
but plan to get there over time.  All the existing device trees
in arch/arm64 use "spin-table", so it seems that other platforms are
in the same situation:
   apm-storm.dtsi
   foundation-v8.dts
   rtsm_ve-aemv8a.dts

Thanks,
Stuart
