NB: this patch does not apply cleanly to v5.2-rc1  ;-)

86f93c93dd50 arm64: dts: msm8998: efficiency is not valid property

After manually fixing up the trivial conflict, the DTB builds without errors.

I then enable
+CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
+CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE=y

(because I'm using a board-specific tiny defconfig)

And... the system starts to boot, hangs a few seconds, then silently reboots:

scsi 0:0:0:3: Direct-Access     SAMSUNG  KLUBG4G1CE-B0B1  0800 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6

sd 0:0:0:2: [sdc] 16384-byte physical blocks

Looks like the "helpful" behavior of the secure OS...

Regards.
