How is that related to the this DTS change, more details below ?

This is really messy. We need to have idle state information at one
place. I prefer to have a hierarchal representation of power-domains
for CPU with idle-states at each level.

Why is it inside PSCI node ? I don't see a need for that.
If it needs to be here, then amend the binding document.

So how do you collapse these states into the cpu level states ?
We should be able to cope up with platform co-ordinated mode of idle.
For me, this binding and the representation here is designed only to
address OS co-ordinated mode of idle support but it should be other way
around. Design the bindings that can cater any mode (platform and OS
co-ordinated)
