[PATCH V4] cpuidle/powernv: Read target_residency value of idle states from DT if available

Tue Feb 3 17:20:14 AEDT 2015


The device tree now exposes the residency values for different idle states. Read
these values instead of calculating residency from the latency values. The values
exposed in the DT are validated for optimal power efficiency. However to maintain
compatibility with the older firmware code which does not expose residency
values, use default values as a fallback mechanism. While at it, use better
APIs to parse the powermgmt device tree node.

Changes from the previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/2/12
1. Used better APIs
2. Code Cleanups
3. Reverted back to the V2 of this patch as suggested in the above link,
in addition to a few cleanups and carried forward the Acks from V2
