With Rafaels latest suggestion of adding ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE, we dont
need to wait until all dependencies are resolved to enable
acpi_processor on ARM64. CPPC patchwork has been up for review for
quite a long time and has been validated on hardware. There is no
reason for it to be blocked until LPI is upstream ready.

Ashwin.
