Yes it can, and IIUC it already does on this platform with CPU_SUSPEND.
All it now needs is just to use existing "freeze" suspend mode in Linux.

Can you be more elaborate on the mess you see on this Renesas platform.

For me, it looks like this patch is attempting to *re-implement* the

creating unnecessary mess giving an illusion that PSCI specification is
broken.
