Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle - remove the power_specified field in the driver
This patch follows the discussion about reinitializing the power usage
when a C-state is added/removed.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/16/518
We realized the power usage field is never filled and when it is
filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set making all these
values to be resetted when the driver is initialized with the set_power_state
function.
Julius and I feel this is over-engineered and the power_specified
flag could be simply removed and continue assuming the states are
backward sorted.
The menu governor select function is simplified as the power is ordered.
Actually the condition is always true with the current code.
The cpuidle_play_dead function is also simplified by doing a reverse lookup
on the array.
The set_power_states function is removed as it does no make sense anymore.
As a consequence, this patch fix also the bug where on the dynamic C-state
system, the power fields is not initialized.
