Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?
I do think the introduction chapter needs to be reworked anyway to talk about standardizing the firmware interface. It too quickly jumps to "when UEFI is chosen", when what I'd rather it present is "here is a standardized platform taylored to embedded systems"... and then get to UEFI is part of that standard.
(it isn't about chosing UEFI; it is about choosing a standard platform)

Is all of the above equivalent in terms of talking about PSCI? Thanks!
Ummm, yes? But I'm not sure that I understand what you're asking.
Thanks for the reviews on all the other patches.
