I like the change for ARM64.
However, that raises a question, how do I have the same driver that
should get probed by a platform device (on 32 bit ARM) and getting called
from cpu_init_idle on ARM64?

I am not following you sorry. The ARM64 CPUidle driver calls the arm64
cpu_init_idle hooks to initialize idle states (in a generic way from
a driver perspective), not the other way around.

On ARM64 your idle driver rely on an arm64 suspend back-end (eg PSCI) to
enter idle states, it works in a different way from ARM, on purpose.

Have a look at what the code does, it won't be the same driver that's
for certain, since on arm64 I do not want to cope with per-platform
CPUidle state enter functions anymore, the arm64 cpu_ops suspend hook
implements the idle state enter method.

Ah, I was working on the premise that I may be using the same cpuidle
driver for ARM64. I guess I will worry about ARM64 with non-PSCI drivers
when and if I have to. Thanks!
