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".

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.

So here I can see we should hard-code the value that's written

+	str	r12, [r1]		@ !turn = cpu
But here we're also writing "1" always, whereas the comment says it's
writing "cpu", and given the algorithm description, I would expect to
write "cpu" here not "1".

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.
