I agree to have a single generic pm-gen2.c file which covers all Gen2 SoCs.

But, unfortunately, I only have Stout boards (H2), and therefore can 
check only on them. This is why the current patch series adds support 
for H2 SoC only.

Theoretically, I could add support for M2 as well, but, I wouldn't have 
possibility to check.


I would focus on the r8a7790 for now, as the Stout board is our nearest 
target which we want to support in Xen and the PSCI feature is a 
mandatory option.

What do you think?
