[PATCH] cpuidle: warn and fixup on sanity check instead of rejecting the driver

[Val Packett]

On Device Tree platforms, the latency and target residency values come
directly from device trees, which are numerous and weren't all written
with cpuidle invariants in mind. For example, qcom/hamoa.dtsi currently
trips this check: exit latency 680000 > residency 600000.

Instead of harshly rejecting the entire cpuidle driver with a mysterious
error message, print a warning and set the target residency value to be
equal to the exit latency.
