Yes but no. PSCI 1.0 is generally backward compatible with PSCI 0.2. In fact,
the Linux driver treats them exactly the same:

{ .compatible = "arm,psci-0.2", .data = psci_0_2_init},
{ .compatible = "arm,psci-1.0", .data = psci_0_2_init},

For the H6, however, the oldest ATF source available (which I believe was the
one in use during bringup) is based on mainline 1.4, and is already at PSCI
version 1.1:

[ 0.000000] psci: probing for conduit method from DT.
[ 0.000000] psci: PSCIv1.1 detected in firmware.
[ 0.000000] psci: Using standard PSCI v0.2 function IDs
[ 0.000000] psci: MIGRATE_INFO_TYPE not supported.

So we could go ahead and bump the compatible to "arm,psci-1.0".

Thanks,
Samuel
