AFAICS it is not needed, it is done already in __cpu_setup() (that is
called by cpu_resume on return from cpu_suspend() from firmware).

However, I have a question. We are relying on context switch to set
sctlr_el1_tfc0 right ? If that's the case, till the thread resuming from
low power switches context we are running with SCTLR_EL1_TCF0 not
reflecting the actual value.

Just making sure that I understand it correctly, I need to check the
resume from suspend-to-RAM path, it is something that came up with perf
save/restore already in the past.
