Yes, i tested mx6ul/mx6sl ok but mx6sx sdb failed.

After a few debug, it seems you removed the l2c310_early_resume in v7_cpu_resume
which is shared between lower power idle and suspend.

Current only mx6sx/mx6ul supports low power idle in upstream, but mx6ul is A7 with
internal L2, that's probably why only mx6sx showed the issue.

I did the following quick try to restore L2 after exit lower power idle, but still
can meet occasional crash during booting.

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/cpuidle-imx6sx.c b/arch/arm/mach-imx/cpuidle-imx6sx.c

                cpu_cluster_pm_exit();
                cpu_pm_exit();

As this changed the order to L2 restore and cpu resume, so i'm not quite
sure if lower power idle still requres L2 restore before CPU resume or
something else we're missing.
