I wonder whether this isn't required on any Exynos SoC in general, as
this mask decides which STANDBY_WFI/WFE signals are considered before
entering the lower power state.

Also you should check the behavior with Krzysztof's patch adding support
for delayed reset assertion, which should cause WFI/WFE signals of CPUs
powered down to be kept asserted.

Best regards,
Tomasz
