I applied your series (though I had to apply some patches manually
because I was applying on top of the latest master branch where a bunch
of Tegra-related files have moved around) and tested on Jetson TK1 as
well as Dalmore (Tegra114). I have a couple of follow-up patches that
shuffle around some code to share the PSCI implementation with Tegra114
since it should be compatible in that regard.

One of the things I also did was try to use the more natural sequence
that Stephen had pointed out. It turns out that, at least for me, that
works just fine both on Tegra114 and Tegra124. Do you think you could
look at the branch I uploaded and see if it works for you as well? One
other thing I've had to do was enable CONFIG_ARMV7_NONSEC (I also threw
in CONFIG_ARMV7_VIRT for good measure) so that the FDT would get
updated, which is no longer the case with only CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI. The
last change I did was enable the SMMU from within U-Boot, which is
necessary if the kernel runs in non-secure mode because some of the
registers are secure-only.

My branch is here:

	https://github.com/thierryreding/u-boot/commits/staging/psci

It contains your v3 plus the above changes on top. I might have fumbled
the rebase, so it might not actually build until somewhere near the top
but I assumed you were going to do that anyway and therefore focused on
other parts.
