Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9

Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9

[baolex.ni]

Currently, CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX has been defined as 10 in the cpuidle head file,
and max_cstate = CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX – 1, so 9 is the right maximum depth of C-state.
This change is reflected in one place of the kernel-param file,
but not in the other place where I suggest changing.

So why are there two signoffs on a single-line patch?  Which one of you
is the actual author?

Thanks,

Hi Jon,

This patch is an old one, we have corrected some minor issues on the newer one.
Please only review the newest version from my last mail with this subject
"[PATCH] ACPI: Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9".
And I also attached it to this mail.

Thanks,
Baole
