Why are these not part of /cpus node in corstone1000.dtsi ?
Also I see the original cpu at 0 node doesn't have enable-method set to
"psci" while these secondary cpus have. Please add the same and move all
these changes in corstone1000.dtsi unless you have strong reasons not to.

In that case, please clearly state the reason in the commit message.

P.S: I was about to send PR soon for v6.15. If you want this change for
v6.15, you need to be quicker.
