Atsushi Yamagata reported me an kernel crash when pm_support=off.
Indeed I have lost a small chunk of code during my code reshaping.
The following code will fix the issue. I will add it in the next
version of this series.

Will be replaced by
+       else {
+                       pr_info(" (DISABLED)\n");
+                       return; /* do not register the cpuidle device */
+       }
