Ah ok. Weird, but I get it. Amazing that SMCCC was adopted there but
PSCI wasn't!

You mean s/scm_legacy_call_atomic/qcom_scm_call/ right?

I don't really want to resend the rest of the patches if this last one
is the only one that needs an update. This was a semi-RFC anyway so
maybe it's fine if the first 5 patches get merged and then I can resend
this one? Otherwise I will resend this again next week or so with less
diff for this patch.
