Thanks, fixed now. I also added a link for why ENDPROC is needed to the
description. I'll apply the patch below into fixes today.

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>]
(omap3_enter_idle_bm+0xc5/0x178)
[<c0024375>] (omap3_enter_idle_bm) from [<c0374e63>]
(cpuidle_enter_state+0x77/0x27c)
[<c0374e63>] (cpuidle_enter_state) from [<c00627f1>]
(cpu_startup_entry+0x155/0x23c)
[<c00627f1>] (cpu_startup_entry) from [<c06b9a47>]
(start_kernel+0x32f/0x338)
[<c06b9a47>] (start_kernel) from [<8000807f>] (0x8000807f)

The power management related assembly on omaps 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.

The reason why ENDPROC makes a difference is it sets .type and then
the compiler knows what to do with the thumb bit as explained at:
