Aside from the different sequence used for boot cpu and the abset l2 sequence, it looks like to me that WFI is enabled anyway (even if it's not defined in the DTS or set disabled) and on top of that it looks like we overwrite the WFI logic but we actually set to enter power collapse (spc). Why? Also I think we are missing the assembly code to enter wfi on krait cpu. Am I totally confused or there are some problems in the code that nobody notice? -- Ansuel
