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.
Thank you for the prompt feedback.

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:
