If the PSCI and PPA is ready, skip the fixup for spin-table and waking secondary cores. If not, change SMP method to spin-table, and the device node of PSCI will be removed.
I don't see how you change the boot method to spin-table. It has been spin-table all the way. Actually you change the boot method to psci when the image is valid.
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.

This function name is confusing. It returns non-zero when the image is not valid. Please consider to change the name.
Yes, will change the name in next version.
Does the existence of such image guarantee it has been loaded successfully? Would it be possible to detect the psci feature is up and running?
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!

I see you are removing the psci nodes. Do you need to update the cpus nodes with enable-method here? You have it done in next patch cpu_update_dt_psci().
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.
Thanks, Zhiqiang
