Meh, the script I wrote (which you can find by following the text of
the commit message or just looking here [1] should handle that OK.
While the script is ugly, I wrote it to handle pretty non-granular
measurements. Right now it's set to test each frequency for 2 minutes
(min_time_per_freq) but it wouldn't be hard to make that 10 minutes
per frequency.

Sure, if Qualcomm can give numbers that'd be wonderful. In the past
they haven't been willing to and I tried to convince them that was
silly because anyone with access to the hardware could measure this
themselves. If Qualcomm has become more reasonable about this then
that makes me happy.
