Thanks, this seems to fix the intermittent "suspicious RCU usage" warnings I've been seeing during suspend to RAM on r8a7791/koelsch, which has a dual-core Cortex A15:
Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
=============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.4.0-rc4-koelsch #2123 Tainted: G W ------------------------------- kernel/sched/fair.c:4938 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:

But I understand from the various other threads about this issue that this patch is not going upstream, as it papers over the real issue?
