On which tree are you testing? Current next has ARMCLK down feature 
enabled. ARMCLK down may stop working after hotunplugging CPU:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg352890.html

That was observed especially on Exynos4212 where ARMCLK down stops 
working permanently. On Trats2 (Exynos4412) the clock down stopped only 
a for short period after disabling CPU.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
