I think you may have been looking at cpuidle_unregister_driver.  Here
is cpuidle_unregister_device which seems to handle a device not yet
registered ok:

void cpuidle_unregister_device(struct cpuidle_device *dev)
{
	struct device *cpu_dev = get_cpu_device((unsigned long)dev->cpu);
	struct cpuidle_driver *cpuidle_driver = cpuidle_get_driver();

	if (dev->registered == 0)
		return;
...

I made the original platform cpuidle_driver objects __initdata so I
need to copy over to the dynamically allocated structure.

Is this preferred by the community over direct structure copies?  Or
is there some other advantage?

Yes, I considered the same thing and originally made a version of this
patch with direct changes to cpuidle_idle_call.  But I concluded that
since this common code's main purpose is just to consolidate code
duplication on *some* (but not all) cpuidle implementations, it was
better to create the extra simple_enter wrapper than to add additional
code in cpuidle_idle_call that other platforms don't need.  I'd be
happy to submit a version of this patch with cpuidle_idle_call changes
though and let the community decide.  If anyone else thinks this is a
good or bad idea, please give your input.

Agree.  I considered this as well but ultimately decided to leave it
in.  I can remove it for the next patch version though.
