Because of the nature of omap5 PM, you'd need omap5 specific support in
order for this to work. Specifically, there are a number of assumptions
about certain power domains never losing state. You can take a look at
the work I did to get this working on am335x here:

https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-hibernation-am33xx

For ARM hibernation support to get merged, there needs to be at least
one platform that supports it. the am335x code I have is not ready as it
still relies on PM patchsets that have not yet themselves been merged.
