Another good example of this is x86 switching to using it by default in: commit a00ec3874e7d ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor") Arguably it should be made the default for all architectures, but it seems better to wait for them to also gain frequency invariance powers. Make it the default for arm && arm64 for now. Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Ionela Voinescu Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Russell King Cc: Rafael J.
