At boot time, the kernel queries the PSCI firmware, and it says:

[    0.000000] psci: probing for conduit method from DT.
[    0.000000] psci: PSCIv0.2 detected in firmware.
[    0.000000] psci: Using standard PSCI v0.2 function IDs

So I think psci-0.2 is correct here. Should this change for the
production revision of the chip, we'll send an update to the Device
Tree accordingly.

What makes you think this?

The GIC is a GIC400, which is GICv2 compliant, and arm-cortex-a15-gic /
arm-cortex-a9-gic are valid compatible strings to identify a GICv2
compliant interrupt controller.

See:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/altera/socfpga_stratix10.dtsi:              compatible = "arm,gic-400", "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/amd/amd-seattle-soc.dtsi:           compatible = "arm,gic-400", "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-shadowcat.dtsi:             compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-storm.dtsi:         compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/foundation-v8.dts:              compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic", "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno-base.dtsi:         compatible = "arm,gic-400", "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/rtsm_ve-aemv8a.dts:             compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic", "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-ap806.dtsi:                          compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic",
arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra132.dtsi:               compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/xilinx/zynqmp.dtsi:                 compatible = "arm,gic-400", "arm,cortex-a15-gic";

Or do you have a more specific reason to think that this compatible
string is wrong?
