    drivers: cpuidle: CPU idle ARM64 driver · 3299b63d

    This patch implements a generic CPU idle driver for ARM64 machines.
    
    It relies on the DT idle states infrastructure to initialize idle
    states count and respective parameters. Current code assumes the driver
    is managing idle states on all possible CPUs but can be easily
    generalized to support heterogenous systems and build cpumasks at
    runtime using MIDRs or DT cpu nodes compatible properties.
    
    The driver relies on the arm64 CPU operations to call the idle
    initialization hook used to parse and save suspend back-end specific
    idle states information upon probing.
    
    Idle state index 0 is always initialized as a simple wfi state, ie always
    considered present and functional on all ARM64 platforms.
    
    Idle state indices higher than 0 trigger idle state entry by calling
    the cpu_suspend function, that triggers the suspend operation through
    the CPU operations suspend back-end hook. cpu_suspend passes the idle
    state index as a parameter so that the CPU operations suspend back-end
    can retrieve the required idle state data by using the idle state
    index to execute a look-up on its internal data structures.
