There is no point to register the cpuidle driver for the 5440 as it has only one WFI state which is the default idle function when the cpuidle driver is disabled.
By disabling cpuidle we prevent to enter to the governor computation for nothing, thus saving a lot of processing time.
The only drawback is the statistic via sysfs on this state which is lost but it is meaningless and it could be retrieved from the ftrace easily.
