What about putting this in pmsu.c, in an arch_initcall() (or some other
initcall level) ? The cpuidle feature is really tied to the PMSU, so I
believe it makes sense to have the cpuidle-armada-370-xp
platform_device declared and registered in pmsu.c. As an added bonus,
you don't need to expose
armada_370_xp_pmsu_enable_l2_powerdown_onidle() and
armada_370_xp_cpu_pm_init() in a header: they can remain static
functions private to pmsu.c.
