Thanks, that's a useful step forward anyhow.

A possibility is that the Secure firmware can't cope with
interoperating with Thumb-2 code in the kernel, so that wakeup
entry points the SMC call sites may need to be ARM code.

If you get a moment, if would be interesting to see if this
patch makes a difference ... in the meantime, I'll see if
I can get my hands on an EVM from somewhere.

Cheers
