Hi Sudeep,

ACPI 6.0 adds a new method to specify the CPU idle states(C-states)
called Low Power Idle(LPI) states. Since new architectures like ARM64
use only LPIs, introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE to
encapsulate all the code supporting the old style C-states(_CST)

This patch will help to extend the processor_idle module to support
LPI.

Not related to your change,
The acpi_processor_get_power_info() function can return failure, so i
thought it makes sense to check for the return value
and then set the  flag pr->flags.power_setup_done appropriately.


Makes sense, will do that.
