Subject: [PATCH 33/70] cpufreq: interactive: add timer slack to limit idle at speed > min
From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@...gle.com>
Always use deferrable timer for load sampling.
Set a non-deferrable timer to an additional slack time to allow prior to
waking up from idle to drop speed when not at minimum speed. Slack value
-1 avoids wakeups to drop speed. Default is 80ms.
Remove the governidle module param and its timer management in idle. For
platforms on which holding speed above mimum in idle costs power, use the
new timer slack to select how long to wait before waking up to drop speed.
