I'm not sure how drv->cpumask is setup, but if a system has mixed enable
methods, say some cpus 'spin-table' and some 'psci', will this give a
false error?
I do not think that's a false error. If the idle states specify an
entry-method == psci, and cpu_ops for some cpus are not set to PSCI,
obviously because the enable-method specified that, that's a firmware bug.
If drv->cpumask should only include 'psci' cpus, then should this be a
BUG()?
Ok, if we got here, it is because the idle-states entry-method was set
to PSCI. Now, if any of the CPUs in the driver mask has a cpu_ops
pointer != PSCI, we have a problem and we should warn on that. I do
not think that justifies a BUG_ON, but that's one of those things, it is
debatable.

Question is whether the check should also be carried out at cpu_ops
initialization (ie to check for mixed cpu_ops), for certain if the
idle states entry-method is PSCI and cpu_ops != PSCI we should
WARN/BUG on that. Or embed this idle state parameters initialization at
cpu_ops init (see other thread you started) so that we can kill two
birds with one stone.

This seems like an implementation problem, if so, shouldn't this be
pr_debug()?
Maybe, I will give it some thought.

Why not put a __maybe_unused attribute on cpu_psci_cpu_suspend() and
remove the preprocessor conditional.  That way this code will always be
compiled, and with therefor always get a build test.  The linker should
strip out the unused code when CONFIG_ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND=n and the code
below is not compiled. 
It can make sense, yes.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
