cpuidle stop state implementation has minor optimizations for P10 where hardware preserves more SPR registers compared to P9. The current P9 driver works for P10, although does few extra save-restores. P9 driver can provide the required power management features like SMT thread folding and core level power savings on a P10 platform. Until the P10 stop driver is available, revert the commit which allows for only P9 systems to utilize cpuidle and blocks all idle stop states for P10. CPU idle states are enabled and tested on the P10 platform with this fix. This reverts commit8747bf36f3.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
