[PATCH] cpuidle: menu: allow state 0 to be disabled

From: Nicholas Piggin
Date: Mon Jun 26 2017 - 01:38:54 EST


The menu driver does not allow state0 to be disabled completely.
If it is disabled but other enabled states don't meet latency
requirements, it is still used.

Fix this by starting with the first enabled idle state. Fall back
to state 0 if no idle states are enabled (arguably this should be
-EINVAL if it is attempted, but this is the minimal fix).

Hi Rafael,

This patch is helpful when measuring power draw of polling,
latency cost of idle states, etc. Please consider merging if
you agree.

Thanks,
Nick
