First, many thanks to Lucas for working on this! Up to now, it was my 
impression that the PMU on i.MX6 is completely useless for !single core 
SoCs. So maybe there is some hope, now :)

Regarding the erratum: To my knowledge there is no erratum. In 2013 I've 
had a discussion with the FSL support about this and got the answer:

This is the IC design issue, we have OR'ed the interrupt pin of the four 
PMU and provide one interrupt to the CPU. currently, we don't have the 
SW workaround available for it.

This is just what has been called as "braindead, broken system" in
