If the macro CONFIG_FSL_LS_PPA && CONFIG_ARMV8_PSCI is defined but the
sec firmware is invalid, the PSCI node will be removed, then the other code in 
the
function ft_fixup_cpu() will change the boot method to spin-table. Otherwise the
function ft_fixup_cpu() will return directly.

Yes, will change the name in next version.

Your suggestion is great, but I'm not sure if there is an interface to check 
the psci feature.
Will check it and update, thanks!

If the macro CONFIG_FSL_LS_PPA && CONFIG_ARMV8_PSCI isn't defined or the sec
firmware is invalid, the enable-method will be changed to spin-table in this 
function.
