[S.H] The PSCI node and the enable-method property are added by U-boot. 
U-boot can determine if using PSCI. If U-boot enables PSCI, it will add these 
missed parts in the dts. If not, it will not add these missed parts, 
so kernel will not use PSCI.

In other words, the dts does not enable PSCI by default. 
It's U-boot which adds the missed part if it determines to use PSCI.
