SPM is a hardware block that controls the peripheral logic surrounding
the application cores (cpu/l$). When the core executes WFI instruction,
the SPM takes over the putting the core in low power state as
configured. The wake up for the SPM is an interrupt at the GIC, which
then completes the rest of low power mode sequence and brings the core
out of low power mode.

The SPM has a set of control registers that configure the SPMs
individually based on the type of the core and the runtime conditions.
SPM is a finite state machine block to which a sequence is provided and
it interprets the bytes and executes them in sequence. Each low power
mode that the core can enter into is provided to the SPM as a sequence.

Configure the SPM to set the core (cpu or L2) into its low power mode,
the index of the first command in the sequence is set in the SPM_CTL
register. When the core executes ARM wfi instruction, it triggers the
SPM state machine to start executing from that index. The SPM state
machine waits until the interrupt occurs and starts executing the rest
of the sequence until it hits the end of the sequence. The end of the
sequence jumps the core out of its low power mode.

Add support for an idle driver to set up the SPM to place the core in
Standby or Standalone power collapse mode when the core is idle.

nit: one more multi-line coding style missed (no need to repost just for
this, feel free to just updated it locally)

After that, feel free to add:
Thanks, I am going to send an updated set later tonight. This will be
fixed.
