OK yeah that works for me.

Can you post a proper patch with few minor changes:

- Add a comment to the code somewhere saying that for off mode,
  omap3_core_restore_context() also restores intc and we don't
  need to omap3_intc_resume_idle().

- Add the brackets to the one line else statement for checkpatch.

Cheers,

Tony
