[PATCH] firmware/psci: Don't register with debugfs if PSCI isn't available

Contrary to popular belief, PSCI is not a universal property of an
ARM/arm64 system. There is a garden variety of systems out there
that don't (or even cannot) implement it.

I'm the first one deplore such a situation, but hey...

On such systems, a "cat /sys/kernel/debug/psci" results in
fireworks, as no invocation callback is registered.

Check for the invoke_psci_fn and psci_ops.get_version pointers
before registering with the debugfs subsystem, avoiding the
issue altogether.
