Having all cpuidle code generally live in drivers/cpuidle is still a good
idea IMO, but using a platform device just for the purpose of passing
data between some platform specific code and another platform specific
driver hasn't worked out that well here.

To achieve both, I cant think of a better way to initialize the cpuidle
driver without the use of reference count (0 ==>
platform_driver_register).

I tried creating dummy platform device in the DT but something or
another gives in to an ugly implementation.

Any other ideas?

Hi Lina,

sorry for missing your mail earlier, I just replied to Daniel on this
topic, when the thread popped up again.
