with that if you require)

NACK. We are not getting the notion of CPU cluster back to cpuidle again.
That must die. Remember the cluster doesn't map to idle states especially
in the DSU systems where HMP CPUs are in the same cluster but can be in 
different power domains.

You need to decide which PSCI CPU_SUSPEND mode you want to use first. If it is
Platform Co-ordinated(PC), then you need not notify anything to the platform.
Just request the desired idle state on each CPU and platform will take care
from there.

If for whatever reason you have chosen OS initiated mode(OSI), then specify
the PSCI power domains correctly in the DT which will make use of the
cpuidle-psci-domains and handle the so called "cluster" state correctly.
