From: Ulf Hansson ulf.hansson@linaro.org Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 13:22:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: cpuidle: Don't register the driver when back-end init returns -ENXIO
There's no point to register the cpuidle driver for the current CPU, when the initialization of the arch specific back-end data fails by returning -ENXIO.
Instead, let's re-order the sequence to its original flow, by first trying to initialize the back-end part and then act accordingly on the returned error code. Additionally, let's print the error message, no matter of what error code that was returned.
