Thank you. I removed the arguments as I prefer something like

  return ti_sci_cmd_prepare_sleep(&info->handle,
                                  TISCI_MSG_VALUE_SLEEP_MODE_DM_MANAGED);

over

  return ti_sci_cmd_prepare_sleep(&info->handle,
                                  TISCI_MSG_VALUE_SLEEP_MODE_DM_MANAGED,
                                  0, 0, 0);

As this function is not part of any API and only used by
ti_sci_prepare_system_suspend I didn't see a problem in removing it.
Also I don't know of any code that will be using these arguments.

If you prefer I can drop this patch.

Best
Markus
