FWIW, here, it's
active state:            C2
max_cstate:              C8
bus master activity:     c8444672
states:
    C1:                  type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[000] usage[00000010] duration[00000000000000000000]
   *C2:                  type[C2] promotion[--] demotion[C1] latency[001] usage[01848151] duration[00000000019686907116]

max_cstate is also C8, but I only have 2 C-states when on AC power, and
2 more C-states show up when on battery. I don't think you have to
worry.
