Absolutely.  I must have been stairing at the whole thing for too long, 
as I obviously did exactly that already elsewhere.

So I propose this alternative:

    ARM: OMAP1: Fix pm_idle during suspend
    
    Commit 9ccdac3662dbf3c75e8f8851a214bdf7d365a4bd ([ARM] idle:
    clean up pm_idle calling, obey hlt_counter) removed a check
    for NULL pm_idle.
    
    Replace the NULL assignment in the OMAP1 code with disable_hlt()
    to be in sync with the core code and provide the intended behavior.
