Hi Kevin,

I know this is used in 'omap3_pm_idle' as well
to decide whether or not to call omap_sram_idle() but
I was'nt quite sure what omap3_pm_idle is expected to do
in the first place.
We end up calling omap_sram_idle here without really
programming any target state. Do we really need this to
happen, instead can't we just rely on ARM generic code
to do a WFI in case we don't have cpuidle support enabled?

regards,
Rajendra
