I believe we should have both compatible strings. Per [1], any CPU that
follows the idle state compatible *must* have "arm,idle-state" as a
compatible. Since we are re-using the same compatible, its only correct
that we retain what is already spec'd up in [1] and in addition provide
this new compatible.

Thanks,
Lina

Or perhaps you should describe something new rather than trying to 
graft in what's there. This combination of compatible strings looks a 
bit odd to me. Though, I've not really spent much time thinking about 
this.
