For reference, which boards?

It's unfortunate that that a PSCI 0.2+ implementation would be lacking a
working SYSTEM_RESET implementation, and it's certainly a mistake to
discourage.

A better option would be to have a property to describe how the PSCI
implementation is broken (e.g. broken-system-reset), and not register
the handler at all in that case.

Thanks,
