I believe we should have both compatible strings. Per [1], any CPU that
follows the idle state compatible *must* have "arm,idle-state" as a
compatible. Since we are re-using the same compatible, its only correct
that we retain what is already spec'd up in [1] and in addition provide
this new compatible.
