The CPU's idle state nodes are currently parsed at the common cpuidle DT library, but also when initializing data for specific CPU idle operations, as in the PSCI cpuidle driver case and qcom-spm cpuidle case. To avoid open-coding, let's introduce of_get_cpu_state_node(), which takes the device node for the CPU and the index to the requested idle state node, as in-parameters. In case a corresponding idle state node is found, it returns the node with the refcount incremented for it, else it returns NULL. Moreover, for PSCI there are two options to describe the CPU's idle states [1], either via a flattened description or a hierarchical layout. Hence, let's take both options into account.

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.
