The cpuidle core takes care of filling this field from drv->state_count.

Patch 1 and 3 are independent cleanups. Perhaps you can separate them
out from the per-cpu latency series in case you have to repost.

I'm not quite sure this is always valid.  If dev has already been
initialized and dev->state_count is different from 0,
cpuidle_enable_device() doesn't actually change it.

Have you considered all of the possible scenarios?

Ok, there is the scenario where the ACPI supports _CST.
At runtime, ACPI may notify the OS a C-state changed for a specific cpu
and this is done through 'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed' followed by
'acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_cx'.

So at the end, we could have different cpus with one cpu with less
C-states than the other, if I understood correctly ACPIspec30.pdf =>
page 262 :)

In conclusion, we should keep this variable filled from there and keep
this in mind in cpuidle.c in order to not break acpi in the future.
Maybe a comment in cpuidle.c would help ... especially with a single
C-state registration.

Sure, adding a comment in there sounds like a good idea.

Thanks,
