[PATCH 0/5] Add standby support for the recent mvebu SoCs

Hi Gregory,

When I run standby on A385 I get following error:
root at localhost:~# echo standby > /sys/power/state
[  122.889266] PM: System core suspend callback
mvebu_mbus_suspend+0x0/0xf4 failed.

Did you see this issue in your setup?

Best regards,
Marcin
