ACPI 6.0 introduced an optional object _LPI that provides an alternate
method to describe Low Power Idle states. It defines the local power
states for each node in a hierarchical processor topology. The OSPM can
use _LPI object to select a local power state for each level of processor
hierarchy in the system. They used to produce a composite power state
request that is presented to the platform by the OSPM.

Since multiple processors affect the idle state for any non-leaf hierarchy
node, coordination of idle state requests between the processors is
required. ACPI supports two different coordination schemes: Platform
coordinated and  OS initiated.

This patch adds initial support for Platform coordination scheme of LPI.

I should have mentioned that earlier, but forgot, sorry about that.

Assignments under while () etc are generally discouraged as (a) error-prone
and (b) confusing to static analysis tools.

So I'd do

	status = acpi_get_parent(handle, &pr_ahandle);
	while (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) {

+		acpi_bus_get_device(pr_ahandle, &d);
+		handle = pr_ahandle;
+
+		if (strcmp(acpi_device_hid(d), ACPI_PROCESSOR_CONTAINER_HID))
+			break;
+
+		/* can be optional ? */
+		if (!acpi_has_method(handle, "_LPI"))
+			break;
+
+		ret = acpi_processor_evaluate_lpi(handle, curr);
+		if (ret)
+			break;
+
+		/* flatten all the LPI states in this level of hierarchy */
+		flatten_lpi_states(pr, curr, prev);
+
+		tmp = prev, prev = curr, curr = tmp;

		status = acpi_get_parent(handle, &pr_ahandle);

+	}
+

Apart from this the patch looks OK to me, so please only update this one
and I'll queue up the series.

Thanks,
Rafael
