H A Dcpuidle.hdiff dcb84f335bee9c9a7781cfc5d74492dccaf066d2 Tue May 20 01:09:27 CEST 2008 Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> cpuidle acpi driver: fix oops on AC<->DC

cpuidle and acpi driver interaction bug with the way cpuidle_register_driver()
is called. Due to this bug, there will be oops on
AC<->DC on some systems, where they support C-states in one DC and not in AC.

The current code does
ON BOOT:
Look at CST and other C-state info to see whether more than C1 is
supported. If it is, then acpi processor_idle does a
cpuidle_register_driver() call, which internally enables the device.

ON CST change notification (AC<->DC) and on suspend-resume:
acpi driver temporarily disables device, updates the device with
any new C-states, and reenables the device.

The problem is is on boot, there are no C2, C3 states supported and we skip
the register. Later on AC<->DC, we may get a CST notification and we try
to reevaluate CST and enabled the device, without actually registering it.
This causes breakage as we try to create /sys fs sub directory, without the
parent directory which is created at register time.

Thanks to Sanjeev for reporting the problem here.
