It is used in idle state, when the device is running at lowest frequency.

+	  The devfreq device is being polled by the devfreq framework.
+	  There are two states for the device operation: normal and idle.
+	  Each state has corresponding polling interval.
+	  When a device is not heavily loaded and runs at lowest frequency,
+	  it is in 'idle' state and longer polling interval is used.
+	  This setting controls the idle polling interval.
+	  It is designed to lower for power consumption.
+	  Set this to non-zero if the default value is to big for your system.
