ARM: tegra2: power: Fix reset race condition between the CPUs
During LP2 for CPU idle on Tegra2, there could be a race condition between the CPUs. CPU1 cannot autonomously shut itself down (put itself into reset). CPU1 must be reset by CPU0 but only when it has no outstanding memory or I/O transactions going on (i.e., it is in the WFI state). CPU1 indicates its readiness to be reset by setting status in a PMC scratch register. If CPU1 wakes up and CPU0 sees CPU1's ready to be reset status before CPU1 can clear it CPU1 could be reset at inappropriate times resulting in loss of cache coherency and ultimately a kernel panic. Eliminate the race condition by ensuring that: - CPU1's reset ready status is cleared as early as possible before CPU1 rejoins the coherent world. - Use writel when updating the IRAM LP2 status flags to ensure the IRAM and coherent memory views of the flags are consistent. - If there is not enough time remaining for CPU1 to be in LP2 for the minimum residency time, clear CPU1's reset status flag before entering WFI so that CPU0 will not wait for CPU1 to be ready to reset (since it won't be if there is insufficient time).
