When I do, at boottime, the program is entering the __cpu_suspend save function and then get lost in it and that turns into a kernel panic. I have already made a post about this on the ARM Community Forum (http://community.arm.com/thread/6326).

Using your configuration file I didn't reproduce your issue.
And according to the stat given by linux the kernel spent a lot
of time in idle:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/time
338822284


Could you try again with next-20140806?


Thanks,

Gregory
