I noticed s3c64xx the day you added that change but just deleted the
code so I could carry on working after my initial attempts to figure out
what this was about took too long.

Do you have any references to this stuff?  I did make some effort to
understand what needed to be done but the patch doesn't mention which
restart changes are needed and my grovelling around in git wasn't
turning up enough context to tell me what was supposed to be happening
instead.  Frankly I've no need for that code in my systems so if it's a
problem I'd just throw the restart code away if it was that or breakage.
