Where can I find a PSCI 0.2 implementation for the RTSM VE model? I
couldn't find a link in the cover.

The upstream bootwrapper is not PSCI 0.2 compliant and it does not
implement CPU_SUSPEND.

Without "arm,psci" in the compatible list, these three properties are
meaningless.

If this is going to live in the /cpus node, could it please be placed
after the cpu nodes?

Changing the enable-method will break boot on a model when using a
bootwrapper without PSCI support. Really we should leave it up to the
bootwrapper to inject the enable method...

Mark.
