I'm not sure I like using of_find_matching_node_and_match() on the
entire tree to find the root node compatible string. Wouldn't it be
simpler and shorter to just do:

	if (of_machine_is_compatible("marvell,armadaxp"))
		ret = armadaxp_cpuidle_init();
	else if (of_machine_is_compatible("marvell,armada370"))
		ret = armada370_cpuidle_init();
	else if (of_machine_is_compaitble("marvell,armada380"))
		ret = armada38x_cpuidle_init();

	if (ret)
		return ret;

Also, using a boolean to return a success/error status is not the
kernel way of doing things, you should use an int instead and use
proper error codes or return 0 on success.

Thanks,

Thomas
