Not sure if I have messed up something in my mail setup, but I did reply
earlier. I did test both DT/cpuidle-psci driver and  ACPI/LPI+FFH driver
with the fix Peter sent. I was seeing same splat as you in both DT and
ACPI boot which the patch fixed it. I used the same config as described by
you above.
