Sorry, I take it back. idle-states are cpuidle specific idle states and
possibly include Platform coordinated cluster modes as well (which is
fine). Its rightful place is under /cpus/idle-states. However, domain
idle states that are compatible with "arm,idle-state" would not have
idle-states as the parent node. They would be defined under the domain
provider node and not the CPUs.

Thanks,
Lina
