[PATCH v3] ARM: mvebu: Disable CPU Idle on Armada 38x

[Gregory CLEMENT]

On Armada 38x SoCs, under heavy I/O load, the system hangs when CPU
Idle is enabled. Waiting for a solution to this issue, this patch
disables the CPU Idle support for this SoC.

As CPU Hot plug support also uses some of the CPU Idle functions it is
also affected by the same issue. This patch disables it also for the
Armada 38x SoCs.

Hi,

In this version I removed the unneeded initialization of the ret
variable, I also fixed the warning message, and finally I added the
Tested-by from Thomas.
