Maybe this issue didn't make itself obvious yet due to the lack of
suspend support.

Moving the CCI maintenance to power_up_setup() is essential for suspend/
resume to work, because then CPUs can power up randomly in response to
interrupts -- exynos_lock is not sufficient protection in that case.

The TC2 code should provide a good example of what to do.
