Regardless of that (which only is about the changelog), I wouldn't
just use idle_cpu_skl directly for CML like in the patch below.

Instead, I'd define something like

static const struct idle_cpu idle_cpu_cml __initconst = {
    .state_table = skl_cstates,
    .disable_promotion_to_c1e = true,
    .use_acpi = true,
};

and point  to it from the CML entries in intel_idle_ids[].

That would allow the driver to avoid enabling the C-states that are
not exposed in the ACPI tables by default which generally is safer
than exposing all of them for all CML platforms unconditionally.
