I don't see anything wrong with the patch besides the potential for the logs to wrap and the informational message to be lost, but would it be possible to express the PSCI features that are supported in sysfs at /sys/firmware/psci/ somehow? It may be useful for a user to know that their firmware has PSCI support and that it has a certain set of features available, like OSI vs. PC, or both. I don't know of any use that userspace would have though, besides maybe the CPU state residency counters being used by some sort of statistics collecting program or just plain knowing that certain PSCI features are present, so perhaps it could just be done in debugfs for now until a real user exists.
