yes for sure.
The problem is more linked to cpuidle and function tracer.

cpu hotplug and function tracer work when cpuidle is disable.
cpu hotplug and cpuidle works if i don't enable function tracer.
my platform is dead as soon as I enable function tracer if cpuidle is
enabled. It looks like some notrace are missing in my platform driver
but we haven't completely fix the issue yet
