[PATCH 1/2] PPC: powernv: remove redundant cpuidle_idle_call()

[Preeti U Murthy]

Hi Nicolas,

Find below the patch that will need to be squashed with this one.
This patch is based on the mainline.Adding Deepthi, the author of
the patch which introduced the powernv cpuidle driver. Deepthi,
do you think the below patch looks right? We do not need to do an
explicit local_irq_enable() since we are in the call path of
cpuidle driver and that explicitly enables irqs on exit from
idle states.
