Could you add a comment for this 'param' field or change the name to eg
'psci_param' ?

Why is it needed ?

It sounds strange to have to declare this cpumask here.

IMHO, there is useless duplication of structure definition / declaration.
I suggest to stick as much as possible to the cpuidle structures, that
is cpuidle_state and cpuidle_driver.
Instead of using the intermediate, idle_states[CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX], use
the drv->states directly and drv->cpumask. That will prevent extra copy
and definition/declaration for nothing. And fill the structure directly
from parse_idle_states_node / parse_idle_states.
All this comes from the need of the state ordering, right ?

It is a bit confusing to use 'state' variable name here, is it possible
to change to something like 'node' or whatever ?

If 'cnt' is always 1 when calling parse_idle_states, it would be more
logical to do:
cnt = parse_idle_states(cpups, cpus);
if (cnt < 0) {
ret = -ENODATA;
goto put_node;
}
and change parse_idle_states consequently.

Isn't possible to sort the states with the index when parsing the DT
instead ?

Are we sure the cpu_suspend will always return a negative value ? If the
underlying returns 1, like the exynos4/5's cpuidle driver does, that
will mess up the cpuidle governor with bad inputs.

The drv->states[0].name|desc is an array but I hope with some cleanups
in the acpi cpuidle driver, we can change it to a const char *.
Is it possible to change it as:
drv->states[0].name = "ARM WFI";
drv->states[0].desc = "ARM WFI";
?

If we are not able to initialize the cpuidle driver, wouldn't make sense
to let the default idle function instead of defining a single state
driver ? If no cpuidle driver is registered, the idle mainloop will
switch to the default idle function. That should save the system to
enter the cpuidle framework and the governor with all its computations
for nothing, no ?

I don't know the arm64 architecture but on armv7 there are some
implementations which do not support the WFI instruction alone (eg.
omap4), if that could happen for arm64, the driver is assuming WFI is
always supported.

The exynos use per cpu timer which are not local, so they are not shut
down when 'logic_state_retained' is reached (If I refer to the calxeda
driver, it should be the same). Is the TBD comment describing such case ?

It should fail instead, as mentioned above with the single-state-driver
comment.
