[PATCH v2 1/7] ACPI: processor: idle: Mark the state as invalid if its entry method is illegal
From: Huisong Li
Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 03:43:41 EST
According to ACPI spec, entry method in LPI sub-package must be buffer
or integer. And the entry method is very key in cpuidle. So mark the state
as invalid.
