Well, the only reason we have this patch *was* the problem with the board
support
if CONFIG_DM is off when we tried to add an early console support w/o
driver model.

But it seems this is not needed at all now, so this patch can be easily
dropped without
causing any harm. I’ll also enable CONFIG_DM from the very start as all the
drivers
we are adding will use it anyway.

But, IMO, CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW support is still broken wrt the fact that SMCC
can function without PSCI_FW, but made a strong requirement. Even more, it
requires
DM because of the PSCI driver which detects if we are about to use SMCCC or
HVC.
