[PATCH v2] ARM: cpuidle: make arm_cpuidle_suspend() a bit more efficient

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Mar 30 2016 - 03:52:28 EST


Currently, we check cpuidle_ops.suspend every time when entering a
low-power idle state. But this check could be avoided in this hot path
by moving it into arm_cpuidle_read_ops() to reduce arm_cpuidle_suspend
overhead a bit.

Since v1:
- drop patch1, I.E "ARM: cpuidle: fix !cpuidle_ops[cpu].init case
during init", because there may be platforms which doesn't need the
init member at all.
- adopt Daniel's suggestion to move the cpuidle_ops.suspend check to
arm_cpuidle_read_ops().
