After looking at 2678bb9f ("ARM: fix EFM32 build breakage caused by
cpu_resume_arm") I think the right fix should be based on CONFIG_CPU_THUMBONLY
rather than disallowing this code to be build for CPU_V7M. 

Indeed, I've just tried that it it works fine, so I'll update the patch to
reflect that.

Thanks for your valuable comment!

Cheers
