On x86 it is 0, but what if acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() fails on arm64, say?

motivation for the change.
Second, if _LPI is ever used on x86, theAFAICS, it's also ok if X86 platform use LPI.
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() in acpi_processor_get_power_info() will
get in the way.
That's fair enough.Why does the evaluation in acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_dev() not work?The acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe does verify the validity of LPI for ARM
and RISCV.
But the caller of the acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_dev()don't verify the
return value.
In addition, from the name of acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_dev(), its
main purpose is to setup cpudile device rather than to verify LPI.
Also, the list of idle states belongs to the cpuidle driver, not to a
cpuidle device.
So I move it to a more prominent position and redefine theSo I think it would be better to check it here, that is
acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_dev to void in patch 9/9.

And the default acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() needs to be changed to return 0.
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() return failure.
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() does not update it.
because this function first call acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe().
And acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe return EOPNOTSUPP because X86 platform
doesn't implement it.
So I think pr->flags.has_lpi is false on X86 plaform.
So pr->flags.has_lpi is 1 on success.
What you mean is that X86 use LPI?Well, that's what is implemented in the current code, but it will needSorry, I still don't understand why X86 has no reason to implement it.In addition, X86 platform doesn't define acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe().Which is exactly why it is a problem. x86 has no reason to implement

it because FFH always works there.
I simply think that X86 doesn't need it.
AFAICS, the platform doesn't need to get LPI info if this platform
doesn't implement acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe().
to be changed if x86 is ever added and I'd rather avoid cleanups
making it harder to change.
If X86 also define acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe and use LPI, this patch is also good to it.
