[PATCH v3] arm64: dts: exynos7: add support for cpuidle core power down

From: Chander Kashyap
Date: Wed Nov 05 2014 - 05:16:03 EST


Exynos7 has core power down state where cores can be powered off independently.
This patch adds support for this state.

Entry latency for the core power down is calculated as follows:
1. Time difference is measured between cpuidle entry and exit.
2. WFI is skipped measuring the time.
3. The time is averaged out for 100000 cpuidle transactions with varying load.

Exit latency and target residency are supplied as per HW team
