Yeah PSCI_SYSTEM_SUSPEND takes care of this on platforms that expose it.

DEN0022F.b Section 6.5. recommends that CPU_SUSPEND StateID includes
a field for system-level power down states. This binding change only
adds a way for DT-based platforms to associate such state with S2RAM
suspend.

That may be a bit Linux-specific whereas bindings are supposed to be
OS-agnostic, but since we effectively want one PSCI state for deep
suspend regardless of the OS, I would think this kind of hint is fine.
