Even with this fix, I found on OMAP3 (beagle and beagle-xm) that there
are still intermittent failures, and the NEON vs. MPU count mismatch was
a good indicator to dig a little deeper.
I think the fix here is to add the neon_clkdm -> mpu_clkdm wakeup
dependency before the clockdomains are allowed to idle. Otherwise NEON
could idle immediately.
With the patch below, I don't see any intermittent VFP crashes anymore
with early testing.
I'm still doing a few more tests, but will sent a proper patch with
changelog after some more testing.
