--- Comment #3 from [email protected] ---
The regression was introduced in kernel 6.19.4 via commit
6cfed39c2ce64ac024bbde458a9727105e0b8c66 ('ACPI: processor: Update cpuidle
driver check in __acpi_processor_start()'). This commit incorrectly assumes
that a driver must already be present to call acpi_processor_power_init(),
which fails on systems where acpi_idle is the primary driver to be registered.

The fix for the NULL pointer dereference (Commit 6cfed39c) is too restrictive.
It prevents the driver from ever initializing on systems where the driver
registration happens inside the power initialization itself.
