Names of cpuidle states were being used for description of states
    in POWER as no descriptions were added in device tree. This patch
    reads description for idle states which have been added in device
    tree.
    The description for idle states in case of POWER can be printed
    using "cpupower monitor -l" or "cpupower idle-info".

The skiboot patch which adds description for idle states in device tree
can be found here: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/924879/

Is this a new property ? I'm not fan of adding yet another of those
silly arrays.

I would say this is the right time now to switch over to a node per
state instead, as we discussed with Vaidy.

Additionally, while doing that, we can provide the versioning mechanism
I proposed so we can deal with state specific issues and erratas.

Cheers,
Ben.

I posted  the node based device tree here :
skiboot patch :  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/923120/
kernel patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/30/1146

Do you have any inputs for this design ?

It is not a new property. Name was being used for description as 
description was not present in device tree. A skiboot patch adding 
description to device tree have been posted. This patch reads those 
description instead of copying name itself into description. And we fall 
back to reading name into description to not break the comaptibility 
with older firmware.

Thanks
Abhishek

From a cpuidle point of view this is a exisiting property, but for
powernv there was no device-tree property describing this. 

Abhishek has added the following skiboot patch for adding description
for each idle state in device-tree .
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/924879/

I agree this can go into new device tree format which each idle state
as a node. Probably i will roll this patch into mine in the next
version.
