The power_down will be called with interrupt disabled, device suspended,
non-boot CPU disabled. But the latest hibernate_platform_enter calls the
device_suspend, disable_nonboot_cpus etc function. So, I use
hibernation_ops->enter() directly instead of
hibernation_platform_enter().

Same as above.

Yes. Most code are duplicated. But there is one advantage not to merge
them: power_down can called with IRQ disabled to make it possible to
eliminate the freezer.

I think it is possible to merge the two implementation. I will try to do
it.

OK, I will do it.
