I don't prefer to refer some Linux implementation macros in DT bindings
as they may disappear any day. Further, the use of CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE
is restricted to ARM32 platforms only. So better to move it down without
the reference to the above macro or any kernel implementation details if
possible.

Something like:
"This assumes that the "enable-method" property is set to "psci" in
in the cpu node[6] and use this property to set up the CPU idle
management in OS PM implementations"

With something on these line, you can add:
