Note that even with that hack/patch from me, all cores may boot, but you cannot let them hit deeper idle states with CPUidle. This is because the firmware appears to have configured CCI in secure mode, which mean that the kernel cannot control CCI, which essentially breaks MCPM and everthing built on it (idle, suspend, etc.) > Przemyslaw is checking how to solve this issue in the bootloader like it has > been solved for Exynos 5800 based Chromebooks.

We really need the other exynos platforms to follow the bootloader of the chromebooks which includes a working CCI and thus kernel MCPM functionality.
