Yes that should be helpful. Even the things your are suggesting are somewhat same with some patches submitted which sets cpufreq min/max constraint. > > Cheers! > > -- > --------- > The views expressed in this email are personal and do not necessarily > echo my employers. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
