And those that don't advertise/expose don't get to use, simple.

Sure, just use the CPU_SUSPEND bindings that already exist. No need to
define this as some special case if it is exposed as CPU_SUSPEND idle
state. Not sure why you want to do it differently. I understand the
need to handle it different in the kernel, but I don't understand to
define the new bindings for that. Just use the existing bindings for the
idle states. Again I see no exception for this case.

Exactly, that's the reason for not changing this into special case and
special binding for that special case created.
