Actually the "fixes" tag is for commit introducing wrong usage of
"use_delayed_reset_assertion" which was merged for 3.19. Although
mentioned bug (failed second to RAM) is observable only after enabling
L2 cache, the fix is for original commit.

I have also other proposal: what about reverting the commit 13cfa6c4f7fa
("ARM: EXYNOS: Fix CPU idle clock down after CPU off")? It will
introduce minor issue (CPU idle clock down will stop to work after CPU
hot unplug) but the main problem with suspend to RAM will be fixed.
