Actually with this I'm now seeing cpu1 not come up after a suspend/resume
cycle on duovero:

[  118.257415] CPU1: shutdown
[  118.294616] Error taking CPU1 up: -2
[  118.299072] PM: noirq resume of devices complete after 3.723 msecs
[  118.303802] PM: early resume of devices complete after 3.723 msecs

So this issue needs to be investigated more.

Regards,

Tony
