On ARM64 this patch provides no functional change.
On ARM64, it causes build breakage though:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_suspend_finisher':
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6494): undefined reference to `cpu_resume'
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6498): undefined reference to `cpu_resume'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_cpu_suspend_enter':
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc66c0): undefined reference to `cpu_suspend'

The code which has been moved looks similar.  However, when it lived
in arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c, it was protected by
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.  In its new location, there are no ifdefs
around it, and so if it gets built without CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND on
ARM, or CONFIG_CPU_PM for ARM64, it will error out like the above.

As this is causing a regression, and I've now closed my tree, I will
be doing what I said yesterday: I'll be dropping this patch for this
merge window in order to stabilise my tree.  Sorry.
My bad, I apologise, I will likely have to add a config option to
make sure cpu_{suspend/resume} code is compiled in (on both ARM/ARM64),
thanks for spotting it.
On ARM, that option is CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND - that option solely
controls whether cpu_suspend/resume are present.  ARM64 just needs
to adopt this, and use that to control the code which is built in
drivers/firmware/psci.c.

However, I don't think it's as simple as just adding that to ARM64,
as you need to be careful of the Kconfig dependencies.  For ARM,
this is:

Generic code:
- SUSPEND defaults to y, depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE (which is set for
   any cpu_suspend enabled CPU.)
- PM_SLEEP if SUSPEND || HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS
ARM sets:
- CPU_PM if SUSPEND || CPU_IDLE.
- ARM_CPU_SUSPEND if PM_SLEEP || BL_SWITCHER || (ARCH_PXA && PM)

What this means is that CPU_PM is entirely independent of
ARM_CPU_SUSPEND.  One does not imply the other, so I think you need
to consider carefully what ifdef you need in drivers/firmware/psci.c.

This is why I think fixing this is not simple as it first looks.
Not saying it is nice, but unless I find a cleaner way I was keener on
adding a silent config entry in drivers/firmware, say:

config ARM_PSCI_CPU_IDLE
	def_bool ARM_PSCI_FW && CPU_IDLE
	select ARM_CPU_SUSPEND if ARM

and use that to either guard the code or stub it out and compile it
if that config option is enabled.

I will post a v4 at -rc1.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
