Using the platform driver model is a good way to separate the cpuidle specific
code from the low level pm code. It allows to remove the dependency between
these two components.
The platform_device is located in the pm code and a 'set' function has been
added to set the standby function from the AT91_SOC_START initialization
function. Each SoC with a cpuidle driver will set the standby function in the
platform_data field at init time. Then pm code will register the cpuidle
platform device.
The cpuidle driver will register the platform_driver and use the device's
platform_data as a standby callback in the idle path.
The at91_pm_enter function contains a { if then else } based on cpu_is_xx
similar to what was in cpuidle. This is considered dangerous when adding a new
SoC. Like the cpuidle driver, a standby ops is defined and assigned when the
SoC init function specifies what is its standby function and reused in the
at91_pm_enter's 'case' block.
