We end up getting this warning on all platforms with TISCI - even if
LPM sequence is capable or not - what does the message mean? firmware is
not capable of supporting sleep or it is a firmware capable of
supporting, but failed to allocate LPM context memory?

If it is optional (since it is probing to see if it has functionality),
then do we need a dev_warn - maybe a softer of form?
