Subject: [PATCH 5.17 004/219] ACPI: processor idle: Check for architectural support for LPI

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@....com>

commit eb087f305919ee8169ad65665610313e74260463 upstream.

When `osc_pc_lpi_support_confirmed` is set through `_OSC` and `_LPI` is
populated then the cpuidle driver assumes that LPI is fully functional.

However currently the kernel only provides architectural support for LPI
on ARM.  This leads to high power consumption on X86 platforms that
otherwise try to enable LPI.

So probe whether or not LPI support is implemented before enabling LPI in
the kernel.  This is done by overloading `acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe` to
check whether it returns `-EOPNOTSUPP`. It also means that all future
implementations of `acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe` will need to follow
these semantics as well.
