The powered-down state of Tegra20 requires power gating both CPU cores.
When the secondary CPU requests to enter powered-down state, it saves
its own contexts and then enters WFI. The Tegra20 had a limition to
power down both CPU cores. The secondary CPU must waits for CPU0 in
powered-down state too. If the secondary CPU be woken up before CPU0
entering powered-down state, then it needs to restore its CPU states
and waits for next chance.

Be aware of that, you may see the legacy power state "LP2" in the code
which is exactly the same meaning of "CPU power down".

No need for the brackets there.
OK. Will fix.
BTW, could you Cc Colin Cross on any future revisions of these patches;
it'd be good to get his take on them.
OK. The next version will directly support coupled cpuidle. I will add
Colin into Cc.

It would be slightly clearer if that was written:

* r2 = flag[0] (in SCRATCH38)
* r3 = flag[1] (in SCRATCH39)

since the meaning of r2/r3 is what's being selected.
OK. Will fix.

Should that be "str r0, [r1]"? Otherwise, you're always writing 1 there,
not writing the CPU ID as expected.
The CPU_ID was not used to lock or un-lock the flag. Wriging 1 to lock
and 0 to release.

Thanks,
Joseph
