Why can't this just be 'static inline'?

Usually, the function and the macro have the same name for this pattern,
so I think it would be more consistent to drop the leading underscore
from the C function name.

Hmm, I know Rafael has Acked this, but I think this is pretending to be
more generic than it really is. While passing in a pointer to the flags
field allows the arch code to set and clear arbitrary flags, we're calling
this before we've set CPUIDLE_FLAG_RCU_IDLE, so that cannot be changed.

Why not just name it like it is and return the arch flags directly:

	state->flags |= arch_get_idle_state_flags(lpi->arch_flags);

?

I'd prefer defining this to point at an empty static inline function so
that we get evaluation and type-checking of the arguments.

Why do you need the outer CONFIG_ guards here?
