Right, it's not actually much harder. A better way to look at it is
probably that we document what which parts we expect to stay constant
and which parts are to be filled out by the boot loader. Independent
of what PSCI implementation the boot loader provides, we would like
to see enable-method="psci".

I just saw that Geoff had a related comment, and documenting this
would make it clearer to other reviewers, as well as people that
happen to look at this file as a base for new platforms.
