If I've understood right, the "foo32" and "foo64" methods can't be
allowed for "arm,psci .  The arm,psci and arm,psci-0.2 method
sets are mutually exclusive, so we can't have "arm,psci" and
"arm,psci-0.2" on the same node.

There must also not be more than one "arm,psci" node, because that will
cause old kernels to mis-probe (and maybe fail) depending arbitrarily
on which node is matched first from the DT.

0.2-compliant platforms which provide a backwards-compatible interface
would need to provide 2 or 3 nodes in most situations (one arm,psci node,
and one (32 bit only) or two (32 + 64-bit) arm,psci-0.2 nodes depending
on whether the platform is 64-bit capable).

If that's correct, we should add some clarification here to make
sure the intent of the binding is not misunderstood.

Why didn't some of these change to match the modified spec?
