Power Saving modes on BBB?

[Gábor Paller]

Am I right that the entire cpufreq subsystem is also disfunctional on
Snappy BBB?
Snappy consumes 40% more current on idle prompt (boot completed, no user
task is running) than the baseline TI SDK and I can't find the frequency
scaling files under /sys.

Also, bizarrely, if the BBB is entirely shut down, Snappy still consumes
around 120 mA while TI SDK goes down to almost 0.

This, along with the lack of power-saving modes is pretty much a
showstopper for any serious battery-operated application on Snappy.

Regards,
Gabor
