[PATCH] cpuidle: reinitialize power_usage values when adding/removing C-states

From: Julius Werner
Date: Tue Oct 16 2012 - 18:40:26 EST


When cpuidle drivers do not supply explicit power_usage values,
cpuidle/driver.c inserts dummy values instead. When a running processor
dynamically gains new C-states (e.g. after ACPI events), the power_usage
values of those states will stay uninitialized, and cpuidle governors
will never choose to enter them.

This patch moves the dummy value initialization from
cpuidle_register_driver to cpuidle_enable_device, which drivers such as
acpi/processor_idle.c will call again when they add or remove C-states.
Tested and verified on an Acer AC700 Chromebook, which supports the C3
state only when it switches from AC to battery power.
