Hi Tony/Amit,
anybody has tried to use powertop from linaro on a single core ARM
SoC? What i am using is
git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/external/powertop.git.
I got two questions:
1. powertop will crash in handle_one_cpu() due to it gets wrong cpu
number(-1), then i made the following change to make it work:

    powertop: fix segment fault for single cpu env

                        set_max_cpu(number);

2. after fixing problem1, powertop can run on PrimaII, but i always
get 0.0% for every p states as you can see from attached pic.
but if we check cpufreq stats in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats, my system does change freq
based on ondemand.

   200000:        29         0         0         0

# cat total_trans
98

does anyone have experiences about it?

Thanks
barry
