Looks like the omap3 idle hang is caused by commit 6ddeb6d84459
(dmaengine: omap-dma: move IRQ handling to omap-dma). This may
not be related to omap4 cpu_idle hang, but it might.

I'm trying to figure out if it's related to something like
omap_dma_global_context_save and omap_dma_global_context_restore.

Meanwhile, to test the DMA changes have an effect on the omap4
cpu_idle issue, you can try reverting the following two patches:

aa4c5b962a7a dmaengine: omap-dma: more consolidation of CCR register setup
6ddeb6d84459 dmaengine: omap-dma: move IRQ handling to omap-dma
