Fix your firmware please. drop the has_lpm stuff.. that is what caps is
for.

As part of ti_sci_setup_ops you get info where you can check ABI version
where this is valid and which is not, ti_sci_msg_cmd_query_fw_caps can
be populated based on that check. That is the reason info is passed to
setup_ops and why we have ABI IDs in the first place.
