Is it sure cpu_suspend will return always 0 on success ?

Yes. Now, we have to define "success". On ARM32/64 success means
returning through cpu_resume, which can also happen if a CPU is soft
rebooted following a power down failure. It depends on how the
cpu_suspend back-end behaves on power down failure, if it just returns
or it soft-reboots the CPU. It is an implementation detail, do not think
it is a major problem at the moment.

Please do not copy the state name and desc strings, they will be 
converted to 'const char *'.

Ok, I need to sync this code with those changes though.

May be s/arm/arm64/ ?

Well, yes, unless we go for a common arm/arm64 driver (see Rob's email),
with related pros and cons.

Let's make a decision on this asap, I do not think we are that far from
a common solution.

Thanks a lot,
