[PATCH v2 0/9] cpuidle: rework device state count handling

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

Hi,

Some cpuidle drivers assume that cpuidle core will handle cases where
device->state_count is smaller than driver->state_count, unfortunately
currently this is untrue (device->state_count is used only for handling
cpuidle state sysfs entries and driver->state_count is used for all
other cases) and will not be fixed in the future as device->state_count
is planned to be removed [1].

This patchset fixes such drivers (ARM EXYNOS cpuidle driver and ACPI
cpuidle driver), removes superflous device->state_count initialization
from drivers for which device->state_count equals driver->state_count
(POWERPC pseries cpuidle driver and intel_idle driver) and finally
removes state_count field from struct cpuidle_device.

Additionaly (while at it) this patchset fixes C1E promotion disable
quirk handling (in intel_idle driver) and converts cpuidle drivers code
to use the common cpuidle_[un]register() routines (in POWERPC pseries
cpuidle driver and intel_idle driver).
