Mark the stats start time stamp when actual load monitoring is
started for accuracy.

It appears that you are changing the semantics of the information here.


For example, in the case:
- devfreq started at 0 w/ 100MHz
- at 10, devfreq monitor starts w/ 100MHz
- at 20, devfreq updates the freq to 200MHz
- at 30, devfreq is requested to show the stat

The conventional:
20 @ 100MHz / 10 @ 200MHz

You proposed:
10 @ 100MHz / 10 @ 200MHz


Could you please give some reasons why the latter is "more accurate"?
To me, the former seems appropriate.



Cheers,
MyungJoo

Yes. I agree. Please ignore this change.
