Sure, so I will add below checking code in the probe function, please
let me know if you have alter better way to implement this:

+       if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_IDLE) &&
+                       !strstr(boot_command_line, "nohlt")) {
+               dev_err(dev, "May not be accessible in CPU power domain.\n");
+               return -EPERM;
+       }

Thanks,
Leo Yan
