Consistent with memcmp you mean ? Yes, I can change it.

No, because we need to keep track of logical cpus that have been
already parsed, we need a tmpmask to keep track of that, how could
we do it otherwise ? We can have more than two cpumask sets.

Not really, because arm_idle_init_driver() would return -ENODEV when
it detects cpus with no idle states and the loop will break before warning.
If we had two cluster of cpus with an idle-states set per cluster plus
some cpus with no idle states the warning would be hit, because
in actual facts we have more cpuidle sets than drivers (I know, a cpu
set with no idle states falls back to default idle, but I think
that's a detail that is easy to sort out).
I can create idle drivers dynamically so that the ARM_CPUIDLE_MAX_DRIVERS
check can be removed or relaxed (but the code becomes slightly more complex).
Thanks for having a look, apart from these comments do we think it is
a reasonable approach ?
