There are three mistakes in the loop in teo_select() that is looking
for an alternative candidate idle state. First, it should walk all
of the idle states shallower than the current candidate one,
including all of the disabled ones, but it terminates after the first
enabled idle state. Second, it should not terminate its last step
if idle state 0 is disabled (which is related to the first issue).
Finally, it may return the current alternative candidate idle state
prematurely if the time span criterion is not met by the idle state
under consideration at the moment.
To address the issues mentioned above, make the loop in question walk
all of the idle states shallower than the current candidate idle state
all the way down to idle state 0 and rearrange the checks in it.

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.
