Or, 
I suggest read_cpuid_part_number() instead of assembler directly.

	primary_part = read_cpuid_part_number();

OK I'll use this defined constant as following:

	switch (primary_part)
	case ARM_CPU_PART_CORTEX_A7:
	case ARM_CPU_PART_CORTEX_A15:
		cpu_enter_lowpower_a15();
		break;
	default:
		cpu_enter_lowpower_a9();
		break;
	}
