and just after sending this I see

void __cpu_suspend_save(u32 *ptr, u32 ptrsz, u32 sp, u32 *save_ptr)
{
        *save_ptr = virt_to_phys(ptr);

'ptr' is a pointer to the stack here. It might not be the only place that
needs fixing, but this clearly has to do a page table walk like
vmalloc_to_page() does to get to the correct physical address.
