Because of the WFI state. The cpuidle-arm driver always carries this
state at index 0, which also is never used in
psci_cpu_suspend_enter(), where the similar is taken into account.

It's a bit of magic, so perhaps someone should post a patch that
documents this a bit better in the code, wherever it makes sense.

Again, thanks a lot for reviewing!

Kind regards
