The patch can ensure that v7_exit_coherency_flush() in rockchip_cpu_die()
executed in time.
The mdelay(1) has enough time to fix the problem of CPU offlining.
That's a workaround way in rockchip hotplug code,
At least, we haven't a better way to solve it. Who know,
that maybe fixed by chip (hardware) in the future.

I would like to see a better comment here, describing what the problem
is.  Maybe something like this:

	/*
	 * We need a delay here to ensure that the dying CPU can finish
	 * executing v7_coherency_exit() and reach the WFI/WFE state
	 * prior to having the power domain disabled.
	 */

Thanks.
