This is about OPP and CPUFreq, so it has nothing to do with PSCI.

Great.
I have looped in Niklas Casell, he should be able to answer any more
detailed questions in regards to QCOM CPR, if that is needed.
In any case, we are discussing whether we should require a
power-domain-names set to "psci" for the CPU node - and I don't see
how that could hurt. Right?
Kind regards
