Thanks for testing.  I reproduced the problem on ODROID-U3 board.  I also
tested Exynos4412 based Origen board and it also has problem with AFTR mode.
We did some debugging but nothing specific has came up yet (we suspect that
the issue may be caused by incompatibilities of bootloader firmware of
ODROID-U2/U3 and Origen4412 boards).  We will keep investigating this but
in the meantime I would like to have this patchset acked/merged if possible
(with Exynos4412 support limited to Trats2 target currently [*]) as:

- it contains mostly fundamental changes for all secure firmware enabled
  boards (which would be needed also on ODROID/Origen4412 boards if we get
  AFTR mode working on them)

- it adds working AFTR mode support for Exynos4412 Trats2 target

- it prepares support for Exynos4212 and Exynos3250 targets which are
  working fine with AFTR mode in our internal kernels and which are not
  yet upstreamed

[*] In the future it should be possible to enable AFTR mode support per
    board using DT (basing on patches from Lorenzo), for now it should be
    fine to check for Trats2 target directly while registering cpuidle
    platform device.  I will post v6 soon.
