I do not think that's a false error. If the idle states specify an
entry-method == psci, and cpu_ops for some cpus are not set to PSCI,
obviously because the enable-method specified that, that's a firmware bug.

Ok, if we got here, it is because the idle-states entry-method was set
to PSCI. Now, if any of the CPUs in the driver mask has a cpu_ops
pointer != PSCI, we have a problem and we should warn on that. I do
not think that justifies a BUG_ON, but that's one of those things, it is
debatable.

Question is whether the check should also be carried out at cpu_ops
initialization (ie to check for mixed cpu_ops), for certain if the
idle states entry-method is PSCI and cpu_ops != PSCI we should
WARN/BUG on that. Or embed this idle state parameters initialization at
cpu_ops init (see other thread you started) so that we can kill two
birds with one stone.

Maybe, I will give it some thought.

It can make sense, yes.
