There is no need for this patch.

The "arm,psci-0.2" compatible string implicitly tells the kernel that
the full set of mandatory PSCI 0.2 functions are present, with the IDs
mandated by PSCI 0.2. That includes CPU_ON and CPU_OFF amongst others.

The only reason to provide IDs is to function on kernels without PSCI
0.2 support. Given the compatible string hasn't been updated for that,
this is insufficient for that case.

Thanks,
Mark.
