3.2.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com>
commit 3735d524da64b70b41c764359da36f88aded3610 upstream.
If the machine is booted without any cpu_idle driver set
(b/c disable_cpuidle() has been called) we should follow
other users of cpu_idle API and check the return value
for NULL before using it.
