[PATCH] cpuidle-haltpoll: make haltpoll aware of 'idle=' override

From: Zhenzhong Duan
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 20:41:43 EST


Currenly haltpoll isn't aware of the 'idle=' override, the priority is
'idle=poll' > haltpoll > 'idle=halt'. When 'idle=poll' is used, cpuidle
driver is bypassed but current_driver in sys still shows 'haltpoll'.

When 'idle=halt' is used, haltpoll take precedence and make 'idle=halt'
no effect.

Add a check to not load haltpoll driver if there is 'idle=' and haltpoll
is built in. If haltpoll is built as a module, still give a chance for
admin to use it despite 'idle='.
