I think I would go with mach-cortina here. Or even better would be
to find a way not to need any code. If you control the boot loader,
you could just implement the psci ops there and actually bring
up the CPU from EL3. If that doesn't work, maybe it is time to
actually have a generic spin-table implementation on arm32 the
way we do on arm64. As far as I can tell, your code is just
a copy of that anyway, though we have so far never added this to
common arm32 code in order to encourage SoC vendors to use psci.

I don't have a strong preference either. If nobody else has a clear
guidance, changing to "cortina-access,..." would seems the most consistent
to me.
