Nit: 

They are both physical address.  It's a little bit odd for one to use 'unsigned
long' and the other to use 'u64'.

If I am reading correclty, @context is never used.  It's not used inside this
function, and all the callers call this with @context = NULL.

Looks you can use play_dead_common() here, if you take IRQ disable part out from
the assembly, because play_dead_common() does:

void play_dead_common(void)
{               
        idle_task_exit();
                
        cpuhp_ap_report_dead();                                                
        
        local_irq_disable();                                                   
}
