I understand that the problem exists and I am considering with our firmware

I plan to switch to PSCI.

If the firmware doesn't support PSCI now, would it be difficult to apply the patch?

Although it is related to the above PSCI, Visconti5 does not have a low
power mode etc., so it is set like this.
