Is there any reason this can't live in the drivers sub-tree?  Is there
anything specific to 32-bit ARM about this?

It looks to me like the right thing to do is to have it as part of
drivers/firmware/psci.c.

We don't do this for other stuff - we don't have IRQ_CHIP_OF_DECLARE
stuff in arch/arm but have the IRQ chip drivers in drivers/irqchip.
We keep it all togehter in drivers/irqchip, even when the IRQ chip
driver is only useful on ARM.
