I didn't understand this comment. Chris is saving the pre-suspend
value into a location that will be accessible to the resume code. It
needs to be PC-relative for the resume code to get to it since there's
no MMU yet.
He could copy it to SRAM first and then put it into SRAM, but I'm not
sure it makes a huge difference.

This 4K chunk of SRAM is pretty specifically for suspend/resume, at
least on rk3288. Other than the fact that it's only 4K, it has a lot
of severe limitations that keep it from being generally useful (it
will crash the SoC if you write non word-sized data to it and also it
can't be cached).
I'm going to suggest that we just don't save/restore it.
