Using extremely high-tech debugging tools (i.e. spraying printk left and right)
I traced this one down to:

psci_cpu_suspend_enter: 435
psci_cpu_suspend: 171
psci_cpu_suspend: __invoke_psci_fn_smc c4000001
__invoke_psci_fn_smc: id=c4000001 3 0 0
/*** we never return from arm_smccc_smc() ***/


The following dmesg log caught my eye, and might be relevant:

ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 missing from firmware


If I revert your patch, psci_cpu_suspend_enter() is never called,
so we don't tickle the arm_smccc_smc() monster.

Could it be that my FW doesn't support PSCI?

Regards.
