Tested your patch on top of v5.2-rc4* on Arm TC2 (32bit) and CPU hotplug
stress test. W/o your patch, the test fails within seconds since CPUs
are not coming up again. W/ your patch, the test runs for hours just fine.
You can add my:
Tested-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@....com>
* just for the record: one additional unrelated patch (to disable the
NOR flash) is necessary on Arm TC2:
