Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for reply.

Not sure if this is regression or not, I need to check more to confirm 
that, that I will do.
What I can see is, this works fine with PSCI-0.1, so looks like 
something wrong somewhere in the firmware.

In disassembly PC points to  "str     x1, [x20,#48]"
see [2] below

will do that.

For now in firmware I have:

int psci_migrate(unsigned int target_cpu)
{
         return PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED;
}

unsigned int psci_migrate_info_type(void)
{
         return PSCI_TOS_NOT_PRESENT_MP;
}

unsigned long psci_migrate_info_up_cpu(void)
{
         return PSCI_E_SUCCESS;
}

where
PSCI_TOS_NOT_PRESENT_MP  2
PSCI_E_NOT_SUPPORTED     -1
PSCI_E_SUCCESS          0

My thinking is kernel should not have crashed this way even if firmware 
does something wrong. No?? should have exit with a warning may be?

Thanks for your time.
