+Subject: cpuidle: mvebu: indicate failure to enter deeper sleep states
+
+The cpuidle ->enter method expects the return value to be the sleep
+state we entered.  Returning negative numbers or other codes is not
+permissible since coupled CPU idle was merged.
+
+At least some of the mvebu_v7_cpu_suspend() implementations return the
+value from cpu_suspend(), which returns zero if the CPU vectors back
+into the kernel via cpu_resume() (the success case), or the non-zero
+return value of the suspend actor, or one (failure cases).
+
+We do not want to be returning the failure case value back to CPU idle
+as that indicates that we successfully entered one of the deeper idle
+states.  Always return zero instead, indicating that we slept for the
+shortest amount of time.
