This is now commit 37c3ec2d810f87ea ("arm64: topology: divorce MC
scheduling domain from core_siblings") in arm64/for-next/core, causing
system suspend on big.LITTLE systems to hang after shutting down the first
CPU:

    $ echo mem > /sys/power/state
    PM: suspend entry (deep)
    PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
    Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
    OOM killer disabled.
    Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
    Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
    CPU1: shutdown
    psci: CPU1 killed.

For me, it fails on the following big.LITTLE systems:

    R-Car H3 ES2.0 (4xCA57 + 4xCA53)
    R-Car M3-W (2xCA57 + 4xCA53)

System supend still works fine on systems with big cores only:

    R-Car H3 ES1.0 (4xCA57 (4xCA53 disabled in firmware))
    R-Car M3-N (2xCA57)

Reverting this commit fixes the issue for me.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
