Actually, may I suggest we funnel these through Rafael's tree, unless
you are expecting other PSCI changes for v.5.2, which could cause
conflicts?

The reason is, other PM core changes, to genpd for example, needs to
go via Rafael's tree. Those would then potentially block us for
applying any other changes to your tree (arm-soc?) for PSCI (as there
is dependency) until v5.3.

How about if you provides your explicit acks for those PSCI changes
your are happy with, then Rafael can pick them?

Right. Let's continue this discussion later on and move forward here.
Make sense.

Sure, let me do that.
