Invoke the do_idle() firmware call before suspending a CPU so that the
underlying firmware (if any) can take necessary action.

Don't you need to have the kernel also *not* do something when entering
idle; doesn't the FW op replace some of the register writes that the
kernel would otherwise be doing?

It seems like the operation is actually to inform the firmware that we
are going to suspend the CPU. Downstream kernel also uses it that way.
But you are right in that we should expect do_idle() to actually
perform the suspend operation. Maybe a prepare_idle() operation should
be added to the firmware interface for this purpose?

That sounds like a reasonable change. Is it easy to plumb in?

I think so. Will post a v2 of this soon.

Thanks,
