shouldn't you also get rid of 

	void (*arm_pm_restart)(enum reboot_mode reboot_mode, const char *cmd) = null_restart;

like a previous attempt at unifying the restart handling [0] did.

Because when testing the current series on my Rockchip boards, there was
always an arm_pm_restart defined ... namely the null_restart mentioned above.
So do_kernel_restart is never reached until I disable the null_restart.
