This and similar from cpuidle-psci.c might produce a lot of error log
entries. The 'return 0' below does not take into account that we failed
to register cpuidle cooling. Thus, I would rather ignore the return from 
cpuidle_cooling_register and move this print into
cpuidle_cooling_register function, changing it also to debug level.

The same here. I would change it into one line:
+	cpuidle_cooling_register(drv);
