Hmm, I am more confused. We have 2 formats: original and extended.
1. Original:
31:26 Reserved. Must be zero.
25:24 PowerLevel
23:17 Reserved. Must be zero.
16 StateType
15:0 StateID
2. Extended
31 Reserved. Must be zero.
30 StateType
29:28 Reserved. Must be zero.
27:0 StateID
I was trying to match them to that. I think I commented on other patches.
I think simple OR logic breaks with extended format easily if StateIDs
are not carefully crafted which is not mandated and hence the trouble.
The same holds to original format but with PowerLevel, it slightly
relaxing things a bit but still it needs to be crafted when firmware
decides these parameters. E.g.: what is done with HiKey platform is
completely wrong.
It's helpful if we want to avoid save/restore for retention states.

I just follow OR logic. I have made wrong reference to bit 29 above(I
can't read simple 32 bit number anymore :(), it should bit 30 and if
this platform follow extended state, then it makes some sense. But
I expect CLUSTER_PWRDN also to have bit 30 set. I tried to match to both
formats and failed to understand which it follows, so thought of asking.
