FWIW, "arm,psci" has always been the compatible string for the PSCI
node, and was never intended to be the enable-method. So as far as I can
tell, this was a mistake/bug, and not a deliberate attempt at specifying
32-bit differently.

This was definitely a mistake, as "arm,psci" was the compatible string
for the psci node, and was never the enable-method. So:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland at arm.com>

Hopefully no-one's begun to use this.

Thanks,
Mark.
