Please add a space before and after "=".

In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/idle-states.txt
they seem to use labels such as CPU_SLEEP_0_0 for the first
cluster and CPU_SLEEP_1_0 for the second cluster.

Please also consider my comment in patch 4/8.

Where did you get the latency values from?
Downstream seems to use qcom,latency-us = <80> for "fpc".

(Sure downstream also defines "fpc-def", but that seems to require
additional psci code/calls that doesn't exist upstream.)

Are you sure that the local timer is stopped?
the equivalent DT property to "local-timer-stop" in downstream is
"qcom,use-broadcast-timer", and this property seems to be missing
from this node:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.4/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8996-pm.dtsi?h=msm-4.4#n158

You could try to remove "local-timer-stop", if it is really needed,
then the system should hang without this property.
