Yes.

It depends how you think about it - something like PSCI is going to to
define properties used in a bunch of different parts of the low level
code, it seems reasonable for things like this to say that the user
should refer to the binding for the firmware to find out what options
that firmware requires and can support rather than having to refer to
each individual place and have those places enumerate the options for
each firmware.
