I'm not sure - it's not that trivial to trace that through the sources.
But I think cpu_do_idle ends up in cpu_v7_do_idle which is just:
	ENTRY(cpu_v7_do_idle)                                                            
	        dsb                                     @ WFI may enter a low-power mode 
	        wfi                                                                      
	        ret     lr                                                               
	ENDPROC(cpu_v7_do_idle)

I think that is what we want here.

	Thanks,
