That does seem to fix it:

root at beaglebone:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i cpu_idle
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y
CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED=y
root at beaglebone:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i omap4   
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP4=y
CONFIG_MACH_OMAP4_PANDA=y
# CONFIG_OMAP4_ERRATA_I688 is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_OMAP4 is not set
CONFIG_OMAP4_DSS_HDMI=y

regards,

Koen
