builtin_platform_driver
As the driver doesn't support unbinding, nor does it support arbitary
binding of devices, disable the bind/unbind attributes for this driver.
Also, as the driver has no remove function, it can never be modular,
so use builtin_platform_driver() to avoid the module exit boilerplate.

There's no need to use multiple platform drivers, especially when we
want to do something different in the probe, but we still use a common
probe function.
We can use the platform ID system to only register one platform driver,
but have it match several devices, and give us the CPU idle driver via
the ID's driver_data.

Originally, the thresholds used in the cpuidle driver for Armada SOCs
were temporarily chosen, leaving room for improvements.
This commit updates the thresholds for the Armada XP SOCs with values
that positively impact performances:
without patch with patch vendor kernel
- iperf localhost (gbit/sec) ~3.7 ~6.4 ~5.4
- ioping tmpfs (iops) ~163k ~206k ~179k
- ioping tmpfs (mib/s) ~636 ~805 ~699
The idle power consumption is negatively impacted (proportionally less
than the performance gain), and we are still performing better than
the vendor kernel here:
without patch with patch vendor kernel
- power consumption idle (W) ~2.4 ~3.2 ~4.4
- power consumption busy (W) ~8.6 ~8.3 ~8.6
There is still room for improvement regarding the value of these
thresholds, they were chosen to mimic the vendor kernel.
This patch only impacts Armada XP SOCs and was tested on Online Labs
C1 boards. A similar approach can be taken to improve the performances
of the Armada 370 and Armada 38x SOCs.
Thanks a lot to Thomas Petazzoni, Gregory Clement and Willy Tarreau
for the discussions and tips around this topic.

As stated in kernel/cpu_pm.c, "Platform is responsible for ensuring
that cpu_pm_enter is not called twice on the same CPU before
cpu_pm_exit is called.". In the current code in case of failure when
calling mvebu_v7_cpu_suspend, the function cpu_pm_exit() is never
called whereas cpu_pm_enter() was called just before.
This patch moves the cpu_pm_exit() in order to balance the
cpu_pm_enter() calls.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
just removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
measured.
Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
this flag in the different governor.

This driver will be able to manage the cpuidle for more SoCs than just
Armada 370 and XP. It will also support Armada 38x and potentially
other SoC of the Marvell Armada EBU family. To take this into account,
this patch renames the driver and its symbols.
It also changes the driver name from cpuidle-armada-370-xp to
cpuidle-armada-xp, because separate platform drivers will be
registered for the other SoC types. This change must be done
simultaneously in the cpuidle driver and in the PMSU code in order to
remain bisectable.
