[PATCH v13 00/10] cpuidle driver for QCOM SoCs: 8064, 8074, 8084

Lina,

a night for me has passed and I have in the meantime 3 new versions of 
the patchset obviously done in the hurry and not tested.

Furthermore the change log fails to give the details, "Address review 
comments on spm.c" is just a clue and when I look at the spm.c code all 
the comments where not addressed.

Please, have a look at the "static bool cpuidle_drv_init;", remove it 
and look closely at the idle callbacks error handling in the cpuidle driver.

Thanks

   -- Daniel
