This is not the errata number that will be seen by people publicly.
That's why I did not give it in the original commit d48866f (ARM: imx:
ensure dsm_request signal is not asserted when setting LPM).  But if you
check the log of that commit, you will find we already have the
information you're adding here.

The good thing is we have that errata publicly available now as below.

ERR007265 CCM: When improper low-power sequence is used, the SoC
enters low power mode before the ARM core executes WFI

http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/IMX6DQCE.pdf?fpsp=1

So if you want to make it clear, you should quote the errata info that
is publicly available to people.
