Thanks to Stephen Boyd's suggestion of checking the missing ENDPROC,
here's a better fix :) Now off idle works too.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP3: Fix booting with thumb2 kernel

We get a NULL pointer dereference on omap3 for thumb2 compiled kernels:

Internal error: Oops: 80000005 [#1] SMP THUMB2
...
[<c046497b>] (_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore) from [<c0024375>]

[<c06b9a47>] (start_kernel) from [<8000807f>] (0x8000807f)

The power management related assembly on moaps needs to interact with
ARM mode bootrom code, so we need to keep most of the related assembly
in ARM mode.

Turns out this error is because of missing ENDPROC for assembly code
as suggested by Stephen Boyd <[email-masked]>. Let's add the
missing ENDPROC in two places to sleep34xx.S, and also remove the
earlier mystery code that was probably also caused by missing ENDPROC
for earlier kernels.
