Instead of returning -EINVAL from of_genpd_parse_idle_states() in case none compatible states was found, let's return 0 to indicate success. Assign also the out-parameter *states to NULL and *n to 0, to indicate to the caller that zero states have been found/allocated. This enables the caller of of_genpd_parse_idle_states() to easier act on the returned error code.
