[PATCH v5] arm64: dts: exynos7: add support for cpuidle core power down

Exynos7 supports multiple idle states. Core power down is one such
idle state, where cores can be powered off independently.

This patch adds support for core power down idle state.

Entry latency for core power down idle state is calculated as follows:
1. Time difference is measured between cpuidle entry and exit.
2. WFI is skipped for measuring the time.
3. Select the worst case time in a set of 100000 cpuidle transactions,
   with varying load.

Exit latency and min residency values are supplied as per HW team.
