Hi Viresh,

FYI, our test script is broken by a commit from you:

The error messages are:

/lkp/wfg/src/setup/cpufreq_governor: line 9: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
/lkp/wfg/src/setup/cpufreq_governor: line 9: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
/lkp/wfg/src/setup/cpufreq_governor: line 9: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

where the cpufreq_governor script is

#!/bin/bash

scaling_governor=$1
[[ $scaling_governor ]] || exit 0

for file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
do
note "echo $scaling_governor > $file"
==> echo $scaling_governor > $file
done

Thanks,
Fengguang
