Thanks for your patch!

According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.yaml,
"enable-method" should be a property of the individual CPU nodes,
and not of the parent "cpus" container node.

However, so far we always put it in the parents "cpus" node, which works from
secondary CPU bringup, but may cause issues with CPUidle?

See also "[PATCH/RFC v2] ARM: dts: r8a7791: Move enable-method to CPU nodes"
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20190514085837.18325-1-geert+renesas@glider.be/
which so far has received no feedback from the DT or CPUidle people.

Thanks!

Regardless:

and I'll see what I will queue in renesas-devel for v5.9 ;-)
