Not exactly related to $subject patch but the driver should
be registered after all devices has been registered to avoid
devices start using the idle state data as soon as it is
registered. In multi CPU system, this race can easily happen.

Current CPUIDLE core layer is also written with the assumption
that driver will be registered first and then the devices which
is not mandatory as per typical drive/device model.

May be you can fix that part while you are creating this common
wrapper.

Can we get rid off the need of wrapping the code under CONFIG
marco in middle of function ?
