Why is a reset needed in order to examine physical memory?

And all register and device state is as Linux left it?

I can't help you with the hardware side of it, other than to say that it
sounds similar to an issue we had on early revs of mpc8313erdb.  Could
you make sure that TRST (JTAG Test Reset) is not being asserted except
while PORESET is asserted?

If that's not it, I'm wondering what the relevant difference is on the
software side to differentiate the case where you go through all the
motions but don't set MSR[POW] from the case where you don't try to
suspend at all (just take the interrupt during normal execution).  Are
you sure that you're making it to mpc6xx_enter_standby, and that it's
not hanging on a PMC register access?

Is it 0xe0000bXX?  A hang when accessing the PMC registers is what I saw
with the mpc8313erdb bug.
