[PATCH v1 7/9] ACPI: processor: idle: Remove died codes about the verification of cstate count

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v1 7/9] ACPI: processor: idle: Remove died codes about the verification of cstate count
Posted by Huisong Li 4 months, 1 week ago 
The acpi_processor_setup_cstates and acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_cx will
be called after successfully obtaining the power information. These setup
functions have their own main role, but also verify the validity of cstate
count.

Actually, the acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst() will return failure
if the cstate count is zero and acpi_processor_get_power_info() will return
failure.

So the verification of cstate count in these functions are died code.

It is useless overhead rather because the conditions checked cannot be true.

Yes.
This patch actually prepares for patch 8/9 and patch 9/9.
