Hi Everyone,

This series of 2 patches supersedes

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/4992010.31r3eYUQgx@rjwysocki.net/

in order to address review feedback.

Patch [1/2] modifies cpuidle_play_dead() as per the subject and patch [2/2]
changes the :enter_dead() cpuidle state callback return type to void.

Thanks!
