Thanks for bringing this up: indeed CPU offlining does not work on the
R40 at the moment.

Yes, I agree here, that just always turns off core 0 :-(
I wrote to the PWROFF registers from U-Boot, all four registers +0x120,
+0x124, +0x128, +0x12c exist and store only the lowest 8 bits, the next
four words are not implemented on the R40. So this makes it very likely
that those are the indeed the PWROFF registers for the four cores, even
though the manual only mentions two.

So indeed just the change above *seems* to work, although it still
didn't survive my CPU on/offline test:
# for i in $(seq 1 100); do echo $((RANDOM%2)) >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$((RANDOM%4))/online; done
This hangs halfway through.

Applying the other changes didn't make a difference: I tried just
the read-back, read-back + delay, the "0xfe, 0xf8, 0xe0, 0x80, 0x00"
sequence, and combinations. Also mdelay(100) didn't help.
Not sure if this is power sequence related, or a separate bug, maybe in
U-Boot's PSCI implementation? I will try to debug this further, also on
other SoCs.

But for now I am tempted to take this one-line change, as this looks
like an obvious bug and the fix definitely improves the situation.

Thanks!
