This patch adds appropriate callbacks to support ACPI Low Power Idle

It also selects ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI_PROCESSOR_LPI if ACPI is enabled
on ARM64.

This is generating warning as below:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x11024): Section mismatch in reference from
the function acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() to the function
.init.text:arm_cpuidle_init()
The function acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe() references
the function __init arm_cpuidle_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of arm_cpuidle_init is wrong.


I am aware of this and needs to be fixed. I posted ARM64/PSCI related
patches for completeness.

We can't have __init annotation for ..ffh_lpi_probe as it can be called
from hotplug paths in ACPI. Only solution I see is to remove __init tag
for arm_cpuidle_init. I raised similar concern on the other thread
yesterday[1]

Thanks for looking at these patches, much appreciated.

Wondering how are you handling with Resource Dependencies for Idle.
I mean _RDI needs to be taken care, since the dependency between the
power resources and the LPI state is described in _RDI.


Correct, right now I haven't considered RDI yet as I don't have proper
platform to test. IMO it can be added later as RDI is optional and not
used on all platforms.
