sure that should work. if reset_type is 0, cookie to decide warm vs cold.

got it.

Sorry for out of inline question - 
So the psci_sys_reset() may be looking like below after the changes suggested?
Is this on track?

if( panic_in_progress() || !psci_reset_cmd.valid) {
        if ((reboot_mode == REBOOT_WARM || reboot_mode == REBOOT_SOFT) &&
            psci_system_reset2_supported) {
                /*
                 * reset_type[31] = 0 (architectural)
                 * reset_type[30:0] = 0 (SYSTEM_WARM_RESET)
                 * cookie = 0 (ignored by the implementation)
                 */
                invoke_psci_fn(PSCI_FN_NATIVE(1_1, SYSTEM_RESET2), 0, 0, 0);
        } else {
                invoke_psci_fn(PSCI_0_2_FN_SYSTEM_RESET, 0, 0, 0);
        }
} else {
        invoke_psci_fn(<psci_reset_cmd.system_reset>, <psci_reset_cmd.reset_type>, <psci_reset_cmd.cookie>, 0);
}

------
where psci_reset_cmd is defined like below?

struct psci_sysreset {
        u32 system_reset; // this will be set as PSCI_FN_NATIVE(1_1, SYSTEM_RESET2) or PSCI_0_2_FN_SYSTEM_RESET.
        u32 reset_type;
        u32 cookie;
        bool valid;
};

static struct psci_sysreset psci_reset_cmd;
