Does it mean you disagree the other patches?

Or are you waiting for more > comments? Actually, both. My primary concern regarding the modularization of cpuidle governors is that they really belong to the core kernel. They access the internals thereof and the behavior of the idle loop in general depends on what they do. OTOH IMV a potential benefit resulting from allowing them to be modular is very small, at least from the mainline perspective. IOW this case is very similar to the modularization of the schedutil cpufreq governor which we decided not to do for similar reasons.

Yes, I recall this discussion. The purpose is to be more consistent with the governors in the other frameworks which can be module. But as you mentioned it, the benefit is small, so I'm fine to drop the series. Thanks -- Daniel

The cpuidle.h header is declaring functions with an empty stub when cpuidle is not enabled. However these functions are only called from the governors which depends on cpuidle. In other words, when the function is called it is when cpuidle is enabled, there is no situation when it is called with cpuidle disabled. Remove the pointless stub.
