On what hardware? I find it somewhat hard to follow this DT code :/

So ARM has a weird 'rule' in that idle state 0 (wfi) should not have
RCU_IDLE set, while others should have.

Of the dt_init_idle_driver() users:

 - cpuidle-arm: arm_enter_idle_state()
 - cpuidle-big_little: bl_enter_powerdown() does ct_cpuidle_{enter,exit}()
 - cpuidle-psci: psci_enter_idle_state() uses CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_PARAM_RCU()
 - cpuidle-qcom-spm: spm_enter_idle_state() uses CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_PARAM()
 - cpuidle-riscv-sbi: sbi_cpuidle_enter_state() uses CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER_*_PARAM()

All of them start on index 1 and hence should have RCU_IDLE set, but at
least the arm, qcom-spm and riscv-sbi don't actually appear to abide by
the rules.

Fixing that gives me the below; does that help?
