This patch is already present in v3.16. Moreover, Exynos5420 cpuidle has
not been merged yet. This means that this issue is not a regression and
I believe any further work on this should be carried out as further
patches on top of this change.

Anyway, this change has introduced a regression, though, but in another
area - it broke suspend, at least on Exynos4-based devices, because now
certain steps are performed twice. I've sent a patch for 3.16-rc3 to fix
this by dropping custom suspend-specific syscore ops, effectively moving
most of the handling to CPU PM notifier, which also matches requirements
of AFTR and lower power states. See [1].

However, in this case, moving back to suspend-specific syscore_ops and
simply duplicating some code for lower cpuidle states might be a better
option. Care to send a patch (fix for 3.16, replacing mine) or I should
do it?

Best regards,
Tomasz
