Things are more or less simple here :)
1) to support psci you need to have DT entry like below:
	psci {
		compatible	= "arm,psci";
		method		= "smc";
		cpu_off		= <0x84000002>;
		cpu_on		= <0x84000003>;
	};
and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI=y

in this case Kernel will ignore mach.smp = smp_ops(keystone_smp_ops),
and will use PSCU interface (see setup_arch()0

2) if don't have PSCI DT entry, but still have custom smp_operations - 
they will be used.

So, question here is not about   CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, but rather 
will you support "PSCI only" or "PSCI and legacy boot".

For the last case You should keep mach specific code in mach-kestone/platsmp.c.
For the first case "PSCI only" - above code can be removed.

3) if you'd like CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU in legacy mode - platsmp.c can be updated as below,
without using psci:


+#define KEYSTONE_MON_CPU_DOWN_IDX              0x01
+#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
+static void __ref keystone_smp_cpu_die(unsigned int cpu)
+{
+       int error;
+
+       error = keystone_cpu_smc(KEYSTONE_MON_CPU_DOWN_IDX, cpu, 0);
+       if (error)
+               pr_err("CPU %u->%u down failed with %d\n",
+                      smp_processor_id(), cpu, error);
+
+       cpu_do_idle();
+}
+#endif

Another question is how well current PSCI implementation supports keystone2/LPAE !?

- It seems, at least below hack should be applied :(

+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/psci_smp.c
@@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ static int psci_boot_secondary(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *idle)
 {
        if (psci_ops.cpu_on)
                return psci_ops.cpu_on(cpu_logical_map(cpu),
-                                      __pa(secondary_startup));

        return -ENODEV;
 }

- and what to do with code in keystone_smp_secondary_initmem() ?:

static void __cpuinit keystone_smp_secondary_initmem(unsigned int cpu)
{
	pgd_t *pgd0 = pgd_offset_k(0);
	cpu_set_ttbr(1, __pa(pgd0) + TTBR1_OFFSET);
	local_flush_tlb_all();
}
