Why not the retention mode which is in between the standby and the
retention ?

Could you replace this function by a generic one ?
It would be nice to have qcom_cpu_standby(void) and
qcom_cpu_powerdown(void) and let behind the mysterious words 'Single
Power Collapse' in the low level code which is qcom specific :)
I guess you had to create a single "qcom_idle_enter" because of a single
pointer in the platform data. I am working on a common structure to be
shared across the drivers as a common way to pass the different
callbacks without including a soc specific header.
struct cpuidle_ops {
int (*standby)(void *data);
int (*retention)(void *data);
int (*poweroff)(void *data);
};
So maybe you can either:
1. wait I post this structure and provide the driver with this one
2. create a similar structure and I will take care to upgrade when I
post the patchset with the common structure.
The issue I see with this common structure is the initialization of the
qcom_idle_state_match array.
> + local_irq_enable();
local_irq_enable() is handled by the cpuidle framework.
Please remove all occurrences of this function in the driver otherwise
time measurement will include irq time processing and will no longer be
valid.

Where is cpu_suspend ?

It shouldn't fail because if the probe is called then the cpuidle device
was registered with its callback which is hardcoded.

Are you sure it is not worth to add the simple WFI state ? It may have
less latency than the standby mode, no ?
