Nit: swap the two.

This looks weird to me, why can't we just initialize the array with the values
directly ?

I don't think that psci_set_reset_cmd() has the right interface (and this
nested if is too complicated for my taste). All we need to pass is reset-type
and cookie (and if the reset is one of the predefined ones, reset-type is 0
and cookie is the REBOOT_* cookie).

Then the PSCI firmware driver will take the action according to what
resets are available.

How does it sound ?

Same comment as Bartosz (have you picked up his work and working towards
a solution) ?

Thanks,
