Seems reasonable. I have a few comments that you may consider. Nothing
too major.
Btw., it would be nice to move this hotplug idling selection code to
idle.c. Have the hotplug just ask to enter the best available idle mode
and that's it. I'm not asking you to do that for this series, but perhaps
consider it for the future.

If the hotplug idle code was in idle.c, then all this deepest/default stop
logic and register settings would be static to idle.c, which would be nice.
If you have a function to check if deepest stop is found, then you don't need
a non-static variable here (or for default_stop_found AFAIKS).

I guess these warnings are meant for developers, but it might be nice
to make them slightly more meaningful? Prefix of choice seems to be
"cpuidle-powernv:"
Then you could have "no suitable stop state provided by firmware. Disabling
idle power saving" and "no suitable stop state provided by firmware. Offlined
CPUs will busy-wait", perhaps?
Just a suggestion.

cpuidle-powernv: prefix for these too?

Does this need to be exported? AFAIKS it's not used in a module.

Is this the only use of default_stop_found? & OPAL_PM_STOP_INST_FAST
should always be the same as default_stop_found value, no? In that case
can you just remove the OPAL_PM_STOP_INST_FAST test here? (I like the
boolean and prefer the default idle state selection logic to stay in the
idle init above where you have it commented).

How much log info is appropriate here?
