The cpu resume path should ideal be on some sram or on-chip memory, but
on TC2 we use the NOR flash @0x0. When you enable NOR flash in Linux,
you can't expect it to be in read-mode always as other cpus might put
the NOR device is any mode based on its interaction. As a result when a
suspended cpu resumes it might not find the resume code if NOR was not
in read mode resulting in unpredicted behaviour. As I said before it's
purely a platform firmware limitation.

Sudeep
