Hi, 


Currently schedutil does not populate all stats like ondemand does, which can be a problem for some monitoring software. 

On my AMD 3000G CPU with kernel-5.9.1:


grep. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/stats/*

With ondemand:
time_in_state:3900000 145179
time_in_state:1600000 9588482
total_trans:177565
trans_table:   From  :    To
trans_table:         :   3900000   1600000
trans_table:  3900000:         0     88783
trans_table:  1600000:     88782         0

With schedutil only two file exists:
reset:<empty>
total_trans:216609 


I'd really like to have these stats populated with schedutil, if that's possible.

Thanks.
