+ARM systems can have multiple cores sometimes in hierarchical arrangement.
+This often, but not always, maps directly to the processor power topology of
+the system. Individual nodes in a topology have their own specific power states
+and can be better represented in DT hierarchically.
+
+For these cases, the definitions of the idle states for the CPUs and the CPU
+topology, must conform to the domain idle state specification [3]. The domain
+idle states themselves, must be compatible with the defined 'domain-idle-state'
+binding [1], and also need to specify the arm,psci-suspend-param property for
+each idle state.
+
+DT allows representing CPUs and CPU idle states in two different ways -
+
+The flattened model as given in Example 1, lists CPU's idle states followed by
+the domain idle state that the CPUs may choose. Note that the idle states are
+all compatible with "arm,idle-state".
+
+Example 2 represents the hierarchical model of CPUs and domain idle states.
+CPUs define their domain provider in their psci DT node. The domain controls
+the power to the CPU and possibly other h/w blocks that would enter an idle
+state along with the CPU. The CPU's idle states may therefore be considered as
+the domain's idle states and have the compatible "arm,idle-state". Such domains
+may also be embedded within another domain that may represent common h/w blocks
+between these CPUs. The idle states of the CPU topology shall be represented as
+the domain's idle states.
+
+In PSCI firmware v1.0, the OS-Initiated mode is introduced. In order to use it,
+the hierarchical representation must be used.
+
