[PATCH] Fix for Atmel AT91 powersaving

[Andrei Birjukov <andrei.birjukov@artecdesign.ee>]

Hello,

We've discovered that our AT91SAM9260 board consumed too much power when 
returning from a slowclock low-power mode. RAM self-refresh is enabled 
in a bootloader in our case, this is how we saw a difference. Estimated 
ca. 30mA more on 4V battery than the same state before powersaving. 
After a small research we found that there seems to be a bogus 
sdram_selfrefresh_disable() call at the end of at91_pm_enter() call, 
which overwrites the LPR register with uninitialized value. Please find 
the suggested patch attached.

The below patch is tested and works ok. The patch was generated against 
a 2.6.28 kernel with no additional patches.

Regards,
andrei
