Do you have access to BL1 sources to change this?

IIUC, what is happening is BL1 is leaving CCI in secure mode, which
means the kernel MCPM cannot manage it.  That means the kernel cannot
manage any low-power CPU or cluster states.

Does anyone know at which stage of the boot secure world is left for
normal world?  in BL1?  in BL2?

If it's in BL2, maybe the CCI issue can also be fixed by ensuring that
CCI is not left in secure mode so the kernel can properly manage CCI.
