I posted a similar patch that instead disabling CCI for the XU3 board,
it disables in exynos5422-odroidxu3-common.dtsi since all Exynos5422
Odroid boards have the same broken firmware and so the same issue:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/29/59

Krzysztof tested it on an Odroid XU3 Lite and reported that disabling
CCI caused some CPUs to fail to boot even with $subject applied:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/29/65

Did you succeed booting all CPUs with CONFIG_ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUIDLE
enabled and CCI disabled in the the Odroid XU3 DTS?
