The patch looks good to me, with a minor file mode nit pick mentioned below.

per cpu purr/spurr sysfs file is created with file mode 0400. Using
DEVICE_ATTR_RO for their idle_* variants will create sysfs files with 0444 as
their file mode, you should probably use DEVICE_ATTR() with file mode 0400 to
have consist permission for both variants.
