No.. how would you know what CPU's should be resumed?

AFAIK, the online status should be only changed by the hotplug code and
nothing else. I don't think that it's a good idea to manually touch the
online mask.

It looks to me that the only purpose of outer_disable() checking for the
num_online_cpus is to prevent people from doing wrong things by
disabling L2 in a random places in their code. Hence it should be
absolutely fine to open code when you know what you're doing, which is
the case here.

We can check the rail status in tegra_sleep_cpu():

if (trusted_foundations_registered() && outer_cache.disable) {
	if (WARN_ON(!tegra_cpu_rail_off_ready()))
		return -EBUSY;

	outer_cache.disable();
}

Which is equal to the check for num_online_cpus. Does it sound good?
