I'd like to show you more technical details of our psci implementation.

Here the dt code is fresh from our engineering repository.
As far as I  know our engineers are testing on psci currently.

04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800   98)        psci {
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800   99)
 compatible = "arm,psci";
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800  100)
 method = "smc";
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800  101)
 cpu_on  = <0xc4000003>;
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800  102)
 cpu_off = <0x84000002>;
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800  103)
 cpu_suspend = <0xc4000001>;
04b8b5a5 (zhiqiang.zhang 2014-12-04 15:27:17 +0800  104)        };

Does it reveal the information as you concern?
It's no doubt that we'll implement psci-v0.2 eventually.
Considering that the code might be upstreamed in few weeks later, we
submit a psci-v0.2 dts in advanced.

Thanks,
Orson
