[RCAR] Fix block device performance decreased
* After the RCAR BSP 5.5.O, the block device performance decreased. The root cause is a change in the default kernel configuration of the BSP (CPU Frequency scaling) from (RCAR BSP 4.7.0): CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y \# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SCHEDUTIL is not set To its new default (RCAR BSP 5.5.0) \# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SCHEDUTIL=y You can check current value at runtime using: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/scaling_governor To mediate the regression we do switch back to the PERFORMANCE governor.
