Right, from PSCI specification, what I understood is before invoking SYSTEM_RESET2, the OS should query the PSCI capabilities using PSCI_FEATURES for SYSTEM_RESET2. The OS should invoke RESET2 only if PSCI_FEATURES returns 0. From spec, what I understood is it is not the responsibility of firmware. If OS issue RESET2 without querying FEATURES, the only option for firmware is to return NOT_SUPPORTED.
