Aha, so this is the use case for the function added by patch 1/7.

Well, I don't see the need to do it this way and complicate the API. As
I mentioned in my comments to patches 2/7 and 5/7, more general firmware
operations should be taking care of setting those registers to
appropriate values and so there shouldn't be any need to use them
directly outside the implementation of firmware ops.

This could be done just by

	if (call_firmware_op(do_idle, FW_DO_IDLE_AFTR) == -ENOSYS)
		cpu_do_idle();

which is 3 lines less than with a function that is suppose to simplify
the code.
