This is still valid and you haven't responded to this.

You need to document the binding now for both idle and hotplug. You
can't mix and match. You can either use PSCI or custom "sunplus,sc-smp"
for both cpu on/off and suspend. So you must document it now even if you
don't plan to support hotplug now. And when you add later, you must use
the same method.

However, you still don't need this driver for just WFI, so please
explain why you think otherwise. Until then, you still won't get ACK
from my side.
