I do not think you should play with notifiers priorities to paper over
FW bugs, if PSCI SYSTEM_RESET is broken FW is not PSCI0.2+ compliant
so it should not even be advertised as such in the DT.

This means that this priority kludge must disappear soon, what priority
to assign to the PSCI reset handler remains to be seen.

Are you sending this patch series via arm-soc ? If so:
