The comparison should have been made before even requesting PSCI OSI
mode changes to the specifications, so we have a chip on our shoulders
anyway.

We will enable PSCI OSI but that's not where the problem lies, enabling
PSCI OSI from a firmware perspective should take 10 lines of code,
not:

 drivers/firmware/psci/Makefile                |   2 +-
 drivers/firmware/psci/psci.c                  | 219 ++++++++--
 drivers/firmware/psci/psci.h                  |  29 ++
 drivers/firmware/psci/psci_pm_domain.c        | 403 ++++++++++++++++++

I have some concerns about these changes that I will state in the
relevant patches.

I will go through the series but most of this code should move
to core PM code, it has nothing to do with PSCI.

BTW, apologies for the delay, I was away.

Thanks,
