[PATCH v6 2/7] drivers: cpuidle: implement DT based idle states infrastructure

On most common ARM systems, the low-power states a CPU can be put into are
not discoverable in HW and require device tree bindings to describe
power down suspend operations and idle states parameters.

In order to enable DT based idle states and configure idle drivers, this
patch implements the bulk infrastructure required to parse the device tree
idle states bindings and initialize the corresponding CPUidle driver states
data.

The parsing API accepts a start index that defines the first idle state
that should be initialized by the parsing code in order to give new and
legacy driver flexibility over which states should be parsed using the
new DT mechanism.

The idle states list is obtained from the first cpu in the driver
cpumask, which implicitly means the parsing code expects idle states
(and related list of phandles) to be the same for all CPUs in the
CPUidle driver mask. The kernel does not check this assumption, it must
be enforced by the bootloader to ensure correct system behaviour.
