Nice catch. Without this patch:

address@hidden:~# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[  112.797621] CPU1: shutdown
[  112.822447] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.841306] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.861303] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.881346] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.901302] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.921301] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.941303] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.961302] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  112.981350] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  113.001368] psci: Retrying again to check for CPU kill
[  113.001789] psci: CPU1 may not have shut down cleanly
(AFFINITY_INFO reports 0)
[  113.002429] CPU1 may not have shut down cleanly: -110

With the patch:
address@hidden:~# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[   83.303563] CPU1: shutdown
[   83.308003] psci: CPU1 killed.

Applied to target-arm.next for 2.9.
