Entering state through enter_freeze() (ie adding the function pointer
in the idle states, on platforms where it is appropriate), therefore
freezing the tick solves the issue, so I think we should patch all ARM
drivers that can benefit from this interesting new feature.

I need HW to test, I will do that first thing on Monday, and send
you the appropriate tags. I already put together a similar patch
and tested it yesterday, so I can say already that it solves the
problem, I will test your patch on Monday and get back to you
(patch 1 and 2 in this series already tested on a platform with no
CPUidle driver registered, and they work and fix the NULL drv
dereference issue).
Thank you !
