Re: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv/cpuidle: Pass correct drv->cpumask for registration

Vaidy,

Thanks for fixing this.

drv->cpumask defaults to cpu_possible_mask in __cpuidle_driver_init().
This breaks cpuidle on powernv where sysfs files are not created for
cpus in cpu_possible_mask that cannot be hot-added.

I think I prefer the longer description below than this.

This patch fixes the issue by passing correct cpumask from
powernv-cpuidle driver.

Any reason the correct fix isn't to change __cpuidle_driver_init() to use
present mask?  Seems like any arch where present < possible is going to hit
this.

Can we CC stable too.  This breaks at least v4.10.
