thanks! I will test it again and analyze why.

hi, ralf, in the latest master branch of linux-mips git repo, seems
there is a need to select the SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU option in every
uni-processor board, otherwise, the suspend/hibernation can not be used,
because you have set:

config ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
    def_bool y
    depends on SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU

config ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE
    def_bool y
    depends on SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU

so, the board-specific patch must be pushed by the maintainers of
boards. and if the board support SMP, they must implement the
mips-specific hotplug support, is this right? I have selected
SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU in LEMOTE_FULONG and will push a relative patch
later.
