ARM based platforms implement a variety of power management schemes that
allow processors to enter idle states at run-time.
The parameters defining these idle states vary on a per-platform basis forcing
the OS to hardcode the state parameters in platform specific static tables
whose size grows as the number of platforms supported in the kernel increases
and hampers device drivers standardization.

Therefore, this patch aims at standardizing idle state device tree bindings for
ARM platforms. Bindings define idle state parameters inclusive of entry methods
and state latencies, to allow operating systems to retrieve the configuration
entries from the device tree and initialize the related power management
drivers, paving the way for common code in the kernel to deal with idle
states and removing the need for static data in current and previous kernel
versions.

Excellent.

Thanks Nico, there are still a couple of niggles to sort out (ie local
timer state), but the bulk of the document should be complete I hope.

I will postpone adding your (and Seb's) Reviewed-by until we have a
final agreement if it is ok with you.

Thanks !
