Are you sure that this is okay? It means, assuming that you have CPU0 
hotplug enabled, that you can enter the AFTR state if _any_ single core 
remains plugged in, which is technically possible, but then wake-up will 
occur on CPU0, which is not what cpuidle and hotplug code expect.

P.S. Please keep linux-samsung-soc at vger.kernel.org mailing list on Cc for 
patches related to Samsung SoCs.
