Current PSCI code handles idle state entry through the
psci_cpu_suspend_enter() API, that takes an idle state index as a
parameter and convert the index into a previously initialized
power_state parameter before calling the PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() with it.

This is unwieldly, since it forces the PSCI firmware layer to keep track
of power_state parameter for every idle state so that the
index->power_state conversion can be made in the PSCI firmware layer
instead of the CPUidle driver implementations.

Move the power_state handling out of drivers/firmware/psci
into the respective ACPI/DT PSCI CPUidle backends and convert
the psci_cpu_suspend_enter() API to get the power_state
parameter as input, which makes it closer to its firmware
interface PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() API.

A notable side effect is that the PSCI ACPI/DT CPUidle backends
now can directly handle (and if needed update) power_state
parameters before handing them over to the PSCI firmware
interface to trigger PSCI.CPU_SUSPEND() calls.

[nit] You could use of_cpu_device_node_get in linux/of_device.h as
it may avoid parsing if used later during the boot(i.e. after
cpu->of_node is populated). I think there's another instance in
psci_idle_init_cpu

Good idea!

However, as $subject patch more or less just moves code from the
current psci firmware directory into cpuidle, perhaps it's better to
defer improvements to be made on top?

Kind regards
