[PATCH 2/2] firmware/psci: Make PSCI checker use play_idle()

Valentin Schneider
2020-04-24T13:58:20Z

To test if we can reach all idle states, the checker implements a
minimalist open-coded version of do_idle(). While it gets the job done,
it's not the nicest way to go about it.

What we can do instead is to nudge cpuidle to go for the idle state we want
with cpuidle_use_deepest_state(), go idle via play_idle(), and check the
cpuidle usage stats to see which idle state we entered.

We don't directly get the state.enter() return value anymore, but if we
never enter a given idle state throughout the entire test, then that
should be a good indicator that something is off.
