From c4a6287185179732dfc1e903c195ff90c19f1065 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frode Isaksen Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:15:35 +0000 Subject: This layer provides Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) patches For the moment only for Renesas R-Car Gen3 SoC's. Can be expanded for other SoC's by setting the machine feature biglittle and provide the relevant EAS patches.
