OS layers built on top of PSCI to enter low-power states require the
power_state parameter to be passed to the PSCI CPU suspend method.
This parameter is specific to a power state and platform specific,
therefore must be provided by firmware to the OS in order to enable
proper call sequence.
This patch adds a property in the PSCI bindings that describes how
the CPU suspend power_state parameter should be defined in DT in
all device nodes that rely on PSCI CPU suspend method usage.
