I'm afraid I don't really understand what you're saying
here. Could you try rephrasing it?

If we're running at EL3 and booting firmware, then QEMU doesn't
provide PSCI. The firmware we're booting is the only thing that
can know if that firmware has implemented PSCI. So only it can
decide whether the ACPI tables and DTB should say that PSCI is
present.
