I think this is only necessary when entering the deepest idle state with
the ARM core powered off, right? It's a serious overhead for the shallow
idle states.

Also flush_cache_all() only flushes architected/inner caches, so it
should do the right thing for this use-case even if the outer PL310
cache is present. There is no need to make this conditional.
