On some other architectures, like kirkwood (see
drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-kirkwood.c) they do. "desc" field is used to
provide a more descriptive information regarding the idle state.
On POWER, the names were self-explanatory. So, we have desc same as
the name.

"enter" is a field name in the generic cpuidle_state structure and
powernv_states[] is an instance of that structure.

Yes, it can be called that. But then again, we're only interested in
the upper threshold in this code. I will add a comment near the macro
definition.

The rc value comes from the
of_property_read_u32_array(power_mgt,
"ibm,cpu-idle-state-residency-ns", residency_ns,
dt_idle_states);
just before the for-loop. This tells us whether the firmware has
populated the residency information for the idle state or not.
rc != 0 indicates that the firmware has not populated the value.
Since the governor will pick the first idle state whose
target_residency matches the predicted residency, setting
target_residency = 0 implies that if any stop state is selected at
all, it is the earliest state.
