[PATCH v2 2/8] cpuidle: psci: Transition to the faux device interface

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 13:03:25 EST


The PSCI cpuidle driver does not require the creation of a platform
device. Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the
driver was first implemented.

With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
