Hi Lina,
With your patchset on top of 3.17-rc4 with v9 of ARM generic idle states
patches from Lorenzo I have tested cpuidle on dragonboard8974 with
Linaro test suites. All testcases report pass. Also verified manually
through sysfs to see changes in usage count and other details about each
state on all cpus.
So,
Tested-by: Pramod Gurav <pramod.gurav at smartplayin.com>
I have a comment/observation only on name entry for each state which
reflects only "cpu-idle-state-" as Lorenzo dt-idle driver limits
CPUIDLE_NAME_LEN to 16.
Thanks
Pramod.
