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.

Since all other idle-state-name in this series uses the qualcomm
terminology for idle states, I think this should as well.

PSCI suspend param 0x2 is actually "retention":
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.4/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998-pm.dtsi?h=msm-4.4#n155

So it actually feels incorrect to call this "power-down".

All other patches in this series has added support for standalone power
collapse, so why not add support for SPC rather than retention?

(For SPC arm,psci-suspend-param should be <0x40000003> .)

Shouldn't the latency be <86> ?
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.4/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998-pm.dtsi?h=msm-4.4#n157
AFAICT downstream assigns the exit_latency to what is parses from "qcom,latency-us":
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.4/tree/drivers/cpuidle/lpm-levels.c?h=msm-4.4#n1712

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/msm8998-pm.dtsi?h=msm-4.4#n153

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