POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named PSSCR is added which controls the behavior
of stop instruction.
PSSCR has following key fields
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the
lowest power-saving state the thread entered since stop
instruction was last executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on
executing stop instruction
Stop idle states and their properties like name, latency, target
residency, psscr value are exposed via device tree.
This patch series adds support for this new mechanism.
Patches 1-6 are cleanups and code movement.
Patch 7 adds platform specific support for stop and psscr handling.
Patch 8 adds cpuidle driver support.
Patch 9 makes offlined cpu use stop state.
