OK try command line approach to disable all states(you can't get partial
on/off in that case). I don't think the build config is of any use as we
end up enabling it which will affect other platforms.

Do you mean cpuidle.off=1 ?
It will disable idle states but this will not allow cpuidle_init() and governors register to happen which mean no way to re-enable idle states.
Do you mean any other command line approach?


The above still holds, so still NACK. It is a policy and not a
hardware/firmware property or feature.

Yes, understood!

Thanks,
