The other patches of the series are acked-by.
Do you think this patch is fine? I would like to apply the series.

I haven't yet checked this entire series, but what does this property
mean? Is it the latency constraint to apply when selecting an idle
state from among all the states described to cpuidle?
Shouldn't we just name the property exit-latency?

Both of these should have unit suffix. And then they don't need a type
def.

Do you mean I should remove the $ref:
/schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32 and change the name to
duration_us and latency_us ?
