+Subject: [PATCH 11/12] powerpc/powernv/cpuidle: Pass correct drv->cpumask for
+ registration
+
+drv->cpumask defaults to cpu_possible_mask in __cpuidle_driver_init().
+On PowerNV platform cpu_present could be less than cpu_possible in cases
+where firmware detects the cpu, but it is not available to the OS.  When
+CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, such cpus are not hotplugable at runtime and hence
+we skip creating cpu_device.
+
+This breaks cpuidle on powernv where register_cpu() is not called for
+cpus in cpu_possible_mask that cannot be hot-added at runtime.
+
+Trying cpuidle_register_device() on cpu without cpu_device will cause
+crash like this:
