The sysfs_remove_link("sysdev") looks right to me.

acpi_processor_power_exit() looks like it is undoing whatever
acpi_processor_power_init() did earlier.  But we only called
_power_init() if we're using acpi_idle_driver, and we call
_power_exit() always.  That seems wrong.  It seems like you only want
to call _power_exit() if you successfully called _power_init().

Oh, and _power_init() can return failure, but we didn't check for it.
Seems like we ought to do *something*.  While you're looking at it,
I'd say the "if (!pr) return -EINVAL" in _power_init() should just be
removed.  It's impossible to call with pr==NULL, and even if we could,
I'd rather take the null pointer oops so we could find the problem.

I know these issues aren't your fault, but maybe you could fix them
since you're in the area?
