It's not a bug. Just a redundant disabling of already disabled interrupts, something which could possibly lead someone to believe that interrupts could be re-enabled by the power-off handler.
And if that was the case, wouldn't that introduce the bug that 44424c34049f ("ARM: 7803/1: Fix deadlock scenario with smp_send_stop()") was trying to fix?

:)
No, the interrupts would still be disabled.
Thanks, Johan
