You are right. There was only one bit previously which was used for
secure/non-secure mode. So ROM over-writes the non-secure bit
accidentally.

Agree and sorry for assuming that the TRM reference should be enough.

Yes. Thats the case otherwise too, on all OMAP4 devices :-(

MPU OSWR and onwards states only. Will add that info in the changelog.

You are right. It does affect couple idle as well. The old idle code
was relying on hotplug path and this fix is in that path which helps
suspend as well as cpuidle with CPU1 hotplug in/out

Actually this BUG is really nasty and the WA is worst.

This OMAP4460 issue only. OMAP4470 ROM code BUG is fixed.

Ok
