Hi, What is the current status of this? Daniel, do you think you have got enough feedback to submit a definitive patch for this? Rafael, would you approve of such a change?
The bug with dynamically added C-states that is tied to this still hurts the battery life for some users across all distros every day, so I think it would be valuable to get a consistent solution into the mainline soon before everyone has to roll their own.
