    cpuidle: tegra: Correctly handle result of arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() · 1170433e

    The enter() callback of CPUIDLE drivers returns index of the entered idle
    state on success or a negative value on failure. The negative value could
    any negative value, i.e. it doesn't necessarily needs to be a error code.
    That's because CPUIDLE core only cares about the fact of failure and not
    about the reason of the enter() failure.
    
    Like every other enter() callback, the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() returns
    the entered idle-index on success. Unlike some of other drivers, it never
    fails. It happened that TEGRA_C1=index=err=0 in the code of cpuidle-tegra
    driver, and thus, there is no problem for the cpuidle-tegra driver created
    by the typo in the code which assumes that the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter()
    returns a error code.
    
    The arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() also may return a -ENODEV error if CPU_IDLE
    is disabled in a kernel's config, but all CPUIDLE drivers are disabled if
    CPU_IDLE is disabled, including the cpuidle-tegra driver. So we can't ever
    see the error code from arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() today.
    
    Of course the code may get some changes in the future and then the
    typo may transform into a real bug, so let's correct the typo! The
    tegra_cpuidle_state_enter() is now changed to make it return the entered
    idle-index on success and negative error code on fail, which puts it on
    par with the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter(), making code consistent in regards
    to the error handling.
    
    This patch fixes a minor typo in the code, it doesn't fix any bugs.
