Thank you for the prompt feedback.

Would this approach work?

ACPI: processor: idle: Allow platforms with only one LPI state

psci_acpi_cpu_init_idle() rejects platforms where power.count - 1 <= 0
by returning -ENODEV. However, having a single LPI state (WFI) is a
valid configuration. The function's purpose is to verify FFH idle states,
and when count is zero, there are simply no FFH states to validate —
this is not an error.

On NVIDIA Grace (aarch64) systems with PSCIv1.1, power.count is 1 for
all 72 CPUs, so the probe fails with -ENODEV. After commit cac173bea57d
("ACPI: processor: idle: Rework the handling of
acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe()"), this failure propagates up and prevents
cpuidle registration entirely.

Change the check from (count <= 0) to (count < 0) so that platforms
with only WFI are accepted. The for loop naturally handles count == 0
by not iterating.
