Allow the driver to be used when AFTR enter function is not provided (device platform data is NULL). This actually does not give any special energy-saving benefits but allows to track the idle time of each core. Additionally it is a safe way to validate supplied platform data.

I think we already talk about this in the mailing list several times. It does not make sense to enable the cpuidle driver for WFI just for the sake of tracking via sysfs some idle timings. Using the cpuidle driver means using the underlying cpuidle infrastructure with all the stats computation in the governor. If there is a *real* need of a WFI cpuidle driver, then a generic WFI cpuidle driver could be implemented to supersede this one. It took a while to cleanup this driver and remove all the hacks around this AFTR state... :)
