Yes, I have tested switcher + cpufreq + cpuidle with this branch and
there are no issues found. I haven't tested with powertop yet. I will
try and do that and let you know the result.

You mentioned that when you run powertop, it gets stuck. When that
happens, is there any log on the console or does system just turn
unresponsive?

Thanks,
