My board doesn't boot anymore with this change, I am not equipped enough 
to debug more, looks like fncpy() is writing the function on top of 
existing kernel code.

You said you had issues with fncpy(), I guess I am having the issue you 
had.


Moving the function copy from at91_pm_sram_init() to at91_pm_suspend() 
fixes the problem:

Or using memcpy() instead of fncpy() also fixes the problem:

It works and fixes the hard fault, but I have no clue why :(
