I think the best way to fix your issue is that remove this verification in
psci_acpi_cpu_init_idle().
Because it is legal for platform to report one LPI state.
This function just needs to verify the LPI states which are FFH.
Would this approach work?

ACPI: processor: idle: Allow platforms with only one LPI state
psci_acpi_cpu_init_idle() rejects platforms where power.count - 1 <= 0
by returning -ENODEV. However, having a single LPI state (WFI) is a
valid configuration. The function's purpose is to verify FFH idle states,
and when count is zero, there are simply no FFH states to validate —
this is not an error.
On NVIDIA Grace (aarch64) systems with PSCIv1.1, power.count is 1 for
all 72 CPUs, so the probe fails with -ENODEV. After commit cac173bea57d
("ACPI: processor: idle: Rework the handling of
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe()"), this failure propagates up and prevents
cpuidle registration entirely.
Change the check from (count <= 0) to (count < 0) so that platforms
with only WFI are accepted. The for loop naturally handles count == 0
by not iterating.
Fixes: cac173bea57d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Rework the handling of acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe()")

This count already verified in acpi_processor_get_lpi_info.
I suggest modifing it as below:
