Unnecessary line wrap and braces.
What's the point of the pre_enter call? This seems very similar to
the prepare call that was removed in 3.2. Drivers can already demote
the target state in their enter call. The only thing you do between
pre_enter and enter is trace and account for the time. Is there some
long call you don't want included in the idle time? Some
documentation would help, and you need to very clearly define the
semantics of when post_enter gets called when pre_enter or enter
return errors.
