In fixing this I found drivers/firmware/psci/psci.c:145
Which also translates psci codes to errno codes, but uses EOPNOTSUPP:

    switch (errno) {
    case PSCI_RET_SUCCESS:
        return 0;
    case PSCI_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED:
        return -EOPNOTSUPP;
    case PSCI_RET_INVALID_PARAMS:
    case PSCI_RET_INVALID_ADDRESS:
        return -EINVAL;
    case PSCI_RET_DENIED:
        return -EPERM;
    };

    return -EINVAL;

Are these more appropriate?
