The saving and restoration looks good to me.

But this is within the if condition which says

	if ((psscr & PSSCR_RL_MASK) >= pnv_first_spr_loss_level)

This if condition is meant for stop4 and stop5 since these are stop
levels that have OPAL_PM_LOSE_HYP_CONTEXT set.

Since we can lose DAWR*, on states that lose limited hypervisor
context, such as stop0-2, we need to unconditionally save them
like AMR, IAMR etc.

Likewise, we need to unconditionally restore these SPRs.
