Actually, I've rethought it over and Thierry's patch approach looks somehow more
appealing to me. What Thierry did is that he modified the _use_ of
pxa27x_set_pwrmode() to be called from a __init annonated function. While your
patch makes pxa27x_set_pwrmode() non __init.

It looks to me the powermode should be initialized once and for all in the
machine init code. So unless I've overseen something, I'll keep Thierry's patch.

Cheers.
