As you have already realized that you need SCPI power domain patches for
the functionality. However, in absence of those patches or when it's
disabled, it shouldn't cause any boot or runtime issues. Only ETM or
coresight won't work. If it's causing any crash or hang, please do let
me know, that needs to be fixed. I have only tested with latest
firmware. Let me know the details of hang/crash and firmware version you
are using.
