Well, if its a CPU core thing, then it's even easier - the proc-*.S
file can handle it just fine (because that's where the WFI code is.)
Just delete the contents of the processor specific idle function, IOW:

/*
 * cpu_fa526_do_idle()
 */
        .align  4
ENTRY(cpu_fa526_do_idle)
        mcr     p15, 0, r0, c7, c0, 4           @ Wait for interrupt
        mov     pc, lr

remove the WFI from there.
