+ * NB: Owing to current menu governor behaviour big and LITTLE
+ * index 1 states have to define exit_latency and target_residency for
+ * cluster state since, when all CPUs in a cluster hit it, the cluster
+ * can be shutdown. This means that when a single CPU enters this state
+ * the exit_latency and target_residency values are somewhat overkill.
+ * There is no notion of cluster states in the menu governor, so CPUs
+ * have to define CPU states where possibly the cluster will be shutdown
+ * depending on the state of other CPUs. idle states entry and exit happen
+ * at random times; however the cluster state provides target_residency
+ * values as if all CPUs in a cluster enter the state at once; this is
+ * somewhat optimistic and behaviour should be fixed either in the governor
+ * or in the MCPM back-ends.
+ * To make this driver 100% generic the number of states and the exit_latency
+ * target_residency values must be obtained from device tree bindings.
+ *
+ * exit_latency: refers to the TC2 vexpress test chip and depends on the
+ * current cluster operating point. It is the time it takes to get the CPU
+ * up and running when the CPU is powered up on cluster wake-up from shutdown.
+ * Current values for big and LITTLE clusters are provided for clusters
+ * running at default operating points.
+ *
+ * target_residency: it is the minimum amount of time the cluster has
+ * to be down to break even in terms of power consumption. cluster
+ * shutdown has inherent dynamic power costs (L2 writebacks to DRAM
+ * being the main factor) that depend on the current operating points.
+ * The current values for both clusters are provided for a CPU whose half
+ * of L2 lines are dirty and require cleaning to DRAM, and takes into
+ * account leakage static power values related to the vexpress TC2 testchip.
