Oh, well, that's why I left it out in the first place, to start simple. :-)

I refer to CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP. I think that on platform coordinated
system we should not bother about the hierarchical representation of the
states (I understand I asked you to make it work but it has become too
complex, I would rather focus on making the hierarchical representation
work for all idle states combination in OSI mode).

Plus side, another level of complexity removed.

I will do it but given that the generic idle infrastructure basically
is there for PSCI and:

drivers/soc/qcom/spm.c

if we create a PSCI CPUidle driver we can write one for qcom-spm and
remove the generic idle infrastructure, there would not be much
point in keeping it in the kernel; at least on ARM64 not using
PSCI for CPUidle is not even an option.

The arbitrary thing you refer to here, is that the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP? Or are you referring to the complete function
psci_pd_convert_states()?

This is arbitrary and not necessarily true.

I think that this patch is useful to represent my reservations about the
current approach. As a matter of fact, idle state entry will always be a
CPUidle decision.

You only need PM domain information to understand when all CPUs
in a power domain are actually idle but that's all genPD can do
in this respect.

I think this patchset would be much simpler if both CPUidle and
genPD governor would work on *one* set of idle states, globally
indexed (and that would be true for PSCI suspend parameters too).

To work with a unified set of idle states between CPUidle and genPD
(tossing some ideas around):

- We can implement a genPD CPUidle governor that in its select method
  takes into account genPD information (for instance by avoiding
  selection of idle states that require multiple cpus to be in idle
  to be effectively active)
- We can use genPD to enable/disable CPUidle states through runtime
  PM information

There may be other ways. My point is that current code, with two (or
more if the hierarchy grows) sets of idle states across two subsystems
(CPUidle and genPD) is not very well defined and honestly very hard to
grasp and prone to errors.
