We started to think how to handle the resume issue in firmware,
e.g. the way you talked, or change boot CPU to another online CPU
to execute resume procedure.

A firmware solution is a long run. Currently we don't suspend/hibernate
when BSP is offline. If a firmware solution is available, we can
change the sanity check to allow suspend/hibernate if CPU0 is offline
for new firmware. But even when the solution is available in new
firmware, we still need to do the same sanity check on legacy firmware.

Thanks.
