I would expect that too. It means static setting at boot time.

I am checking with colleague about all xilinx use cases but I would be
surprised if static configuration at run time is enough.

Also not quite sure about mixing reboot_warm and reboot_soft cases
together. They shouldn't be the same.

Based on psci 1.0 spec there are more options especially for bit[31]
which should be likely setup via DT(no experience with EFI) with names
and codes which should be passed to firmware but still the same issue
remains how to setup reboot type.

Thanks,
