This patch introduces support for firmware-stop-support. If Kernel does
not know about stop version, it can fallback to opal for idle stop
support if firmware-stop-supported property is present.

Just like "idle-stop", "idle-stop-quirk" can be defined in features if
there is some quirk that needs to be handled and if kernel identifies
the corresponding version it can use that or fallback to opal for idle
stop support.

The complete idea was previosuly posted in this patch:

In this patchset, you are supporting only the non-hypervisor
loss stop states (stop0, stop1, stop2) only in the opal
cpuidle-driver. Is the string "firmware-stop-supported" intended for
only that ? In that case it should be documented, so that in the
presence of this feature, should the kernel choose to opt for opal
cpuidle-driver, it will select only shallow states.

As of now, it is intended for only shallow states.
Will include documentation  for it in next iteration.
