[RFC] cpufreq: governor: Set MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Tue Feb 26 2013 - 04:44:49 EST


Currently MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER is set defined as 100 and so on a system with
transition latency of 1 ms, the minimum sampling time comes to be around 100 ms.
That is quite big if you want to get better performance for your system.

Redefine MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20 so that we can support 20ms sampling rate
for such platforms.

Hi Guys,

I really don't know how this figure (100) came initially, but we really need to
have 20ms support for my platform: ARM TC2.
