The latter sentence reads like a description of SW policy, rather than a
description of what the HW does. I don't think that should be here
(though it might be worth noting the FW will not restore state).

Which state is lost? Is "ITS state" a well-defined term?

By suspend do you mean a PSCI_SYSTEM_SUSPEND, or potentially other
cases?
