From: Punit Agrawal <punit1.agrawal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> On systems where cpu idle is disabled to reduce latencies, "/dev/cpu_dma_latency" does not exist and leads to the following exception report from python when using hwlatdetect.py - FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cpu_dma_latency Update hwlatdetect to check whether the file exists before attemping to write values to it.
