[PATCH v4 0/2] powernv/cpuidle Device-tree parsing cleanup

Device-tree parsed multiple time in powernv cpuidle and powernv
hotplug code.

First to identify supported flags. Second time, to identify deepest_state
and first deep state. Third time, during cpuidle init to find the available
idle states. Any change in device-tree format will lead to make changes in
these 3 places. Errors in device-tree can be handled in a better manner.

This series adds code to parse device tree once and save in global structure.

Changes from v3 :
 - Removed a stale comment
Changes from v2 :
 - Fix build error (moved a hunk from patch 1 to patch 2)
Changes from v1 :
 - fold first 2 patches into 1
 - rename pm_ctrl_reg_* as psscr_*
 - added comment stating removal of pmicr parsing code
 - removed parsing code for pmicr
 - add member valid in pnv_idle_states_t to indicate if the psscr-mask/val
are valid combination,
 - Change function description of pnv_parse_cpuidle_dt
 - Added error handling code.

  powernv/cpuidle: Use parsed device tree values for cpuidle_init
