Most of the above changes isn't for solely for OSI, but to support a hierarchical topology described in the PSCI DT layout. This is for example needed when other resources shares the same power rail as the CPU cluster. In other words, the series is orthogonal to whether OSI or PC mode is used for PSCI, just to make that clear.
