Documentation: ABI: make current_governer_ro as a candidate for removal
Documentation: cpuidle: update the document
cpuidle: sysfs: Remove sysfs_switch and switch attributes
cpuidle: Make cpuidle governor switchable to be the default behaviour
cpuidle: sysfs: Accept governor name with 15 characters
cpuidle: sysfs: Fix the overlap for showing available governors
cpuidle: psci: Fixup execution order when entering a domain idle state
cpuidle: sysfs: Minor coding style corrections
