cpuidle-exynos driver is currently working properly in deeper cpuidle
mode (AFTR) on Exynos4210 and Exynos5250 (please also see the following
patch from Tomasz Figa: [1]).  There is ongoing work to AFTR mode work
also on Exynos4x12 and Exynos3250 but it is not complete yet.  Exynos5410
OTOH should probably use the generic big little cpuidle driver (this SoC
is similar to Exynos5420 one for which Chander Kashyap has developed
cpuidle-big_little support [2]).

Making long story short, I think that your patch should depend on patch
[1] and update only exynos4210.dtsi and exynos5250.dtsi.  Also for your
patch #6 there needs to be some coordination with merging of Chander's
patchset ([2]).
