Thanks for your patch!

I'd rather not add such comments (especially +6y after the fact), as
this is the standard operating procedure in case something doesn't work.

Do you think we should sprinkle the following, too??

/* If secondary CPUs don't work, please update your firmware */
/* If cpuidle crashes, please update your firmware */
/* If watchdog restart doesn't work, please update your firmware */
/* If PSCI reboot doesn't work, please update your firmware */
