Variations in the enable method are handled by searching for
another node with different compatible strings. Later on in this
series you'll see that we search for gcc-8660, kpss-acc-v1, or
kpps-acc-v2. Once we find one of these nodes we perform the
correct cold boot routine.

I'm actually considering renaming this to "qcom,cold-boot". We
could further extend the enable-metho property to allow
"qcom,warm-boot" and then for cases like kexec we could make the
enable method be warm boot and our smp code could be smart enough
to know to skip the whole cold boot sequence.
