As per the spec, all cores are in one of the following states:
 - Running
 - OFF, either through a call to CPU_OFF or not yet booted
 - Suspended, through a call to CPU_DEFAULT_SUSPEND

Better to provide full information.

OK what is the issue if the other cores are online ? As long as they are
running, it is allowed in the spec, so your statement is incorrect.

Is CPUidle enabled before setting the OSI mode. I see only that can cause
issue as we don't use CPU_DEFAULT_SUSPEND. If idle is not yet enabled, it
shouldn't be a problem.
