intel_idle: disable Atom/Lincroft HW C-state auto-demotion
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Just as we had to disable auto-demotion for NHM/WSM,
we need to do the same for Atom (Lincroft version).

In particular, auto-demotion will prevent Lincroft
from entering the S0i3 idle power saving state.
