That simple! Well i've got a 370RD which has been sat mostly idle for
weeks, using the mvebu_v7_defconfig, with a few addition things turned
on for testing the Ethernet switch on the board. I've not had that
lockup.

One thing you can try to narrow it down is the disable the second idle
mode. Take a look at armada370_idle_driver. Keep the
ARM_CPUIDLE_WFI_STATE but disable the "Deep Idle" state.
