The problem also affects suspend/resume. Disabling CPU_IDLE simply
removes one case where the CPUs gets power-cycled, but doesn't solve the
suspend/resume issue.

Anyway, this patch removes the following code:

	/* Save the value for resuming. */
	l2x0_saved_regs.aux_ctrl = aux;

Was that intentional? Perhaps the call to data->save() should do this now?

Anyway, if I put that code back, in any of the following 3 places, then
boot, CPU hotplug, and suspend/resume all work OK with your series:

1) Right after:

	outer_cache = fns;

2) Right after:

	if (data->save)
		data->save(l2x0_base);

3) Right after:

	aux = readl_relaxed(l2x0_base + L2X0_AUX_CTRL);
