RE: [PATCH v2 2/2] cpuidle:sunplus:create cpuidle driver for sunplus sp7021

["Edwin Chiu 邱垂峰" <edwin.chiu@sunplus.com>]

Hi Sudeep and Daniel:

Thanks your response.
My CPU is arm CA7 that is 32bits cpu.
If I directly used cpuidle-arm.c function with enable "Generic ARM/ARM64 CPU idle Driver",
the cpuidle driver mount fail with "unsupported enable-method property".

This is due to linux kernel no invoke CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE for arm 32bits cpu.
There have no define cpuidle_ops.init and cpuidle_ops.suspend function for arm 32bits cpu too.

So I create cpuidle-sunplus.c to execute my cpuidle function.
Please correct me if I got mistake.
