I disagree with that statement. CONFIG_ARM_PSCI may be selected in your .config for multiple reasons:
     - CONFIG_XEN will selected it
     - you build a .config targeting multiple platforms

Yet you may still want to boot the kernel on older U-boot. Such change would make it impossible.

If there are code that should not be called when PSCI is used, then you need to make sure the function is not called at runtime.

I got your point.


As I answered in a previous email:

What would be a proper way to avoid calling secure_cntvoff_init() at runtime?

Check that we are already in non-secure mode and/or cntvoff is already 0?
