PSCI has multiple kernel consumers, such as cpuidle-psci-domain.
Currently, both the PSCI core driver and cpuidle-psci-domain bind
directly to the same PSCI node "arm,psci-1.0". Additional consumers, if
introduced, would also need to bind in the same way, leading to multiple
drivers attached to a single device node.

Introduce a PSCI auxiliary-device provider that binds to "arm,psci-1.0"
and registers PSCI child devices on the auxiliary bus. As the first
user, register cpuidle-psci-domain as an auxiliary device.

Update cpuidle-psci-domain to probe as an auxiliary driver and use
the PSCI device node for power-domain traversal.

I think we should move this to arch_initcall().

To allow the platform driver to probe, the corresponding device node
in DT needs to get populated, which happens at arch_initcall_sync().

That said, to be consistent, we should move the cpuidle-psci-domain.c
from core_initcall to arch_initcall too.
