Right, if this doesn't work then it is certainly a bug somewhere on the
u-boot side.

I fixed one such issue a while back ("ARM: bootm: do not add PSCI to fdt
when booting in secure mode.") but that's ancient history, but I know
that at that time it was working for me (I'm reasonably sure that was on
Tegra with my earlier PSCI patches)
