First thig, run your patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl and fix the
resulting pile of errors and warnings.

sx3000_machine_halt() will consume plenty of power if implemented as a
empty loop:

+static void sx3000_machine_halt(void)
+{
+       while (true);
+}

Something like:

static void sx3000_machine_halt(void)
{
	local_irq_disable();
	while (1) {
		if (cpu_wait)
			cpu_wait();
	}
}

will make the function much "greener".
