I have found this some mins ago.

I means that currently it is not zero.

zynq> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/usage
96931
zynq> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/usage
8396

Let me talk to Soren how this should be done on zynq.

Appreciate that - the origin author of this code is not longer with Xilinx
that's why hard to tell why it was done in this way. This version
was done 2011-02. But that's not excuse just explanation.

It mean that this driver should also go through this tree, right?

yep. Done.

Where is that caller function? I can trace it but this maybe faster way. :-)

ok. Thanks you very much for your comments.
