This simply isn't correct.

As of the above commit, s2idle was still supported without cpuidle as
long as arch_cpu_idle() worked.

First, please explain why the cpuidle_not_available() check in
cpuidle_idle_call() is not sufficient to avoid the breakage.

Not really.

And same here.

Again, I need to understand what the problem is in the first place.
