Hi Vincent,
Thank you for your item 2 patch.

Yes, the issue is solved with this patch.
I do wonder if I am seeing the effect of the spurious calls.
Details:
Test 1: an 8000 second trace during system idle:
Maximum duration: 4.00015 seconds. Good.
Typically, there would have been about 300 durations
of over 10 seconds in 8000 seconds.
Number of calls to driver: 103168, which is about 8% more than
the previous experimental solution.
(Should be repeated a few times to verify repeatability, but
not going to.)
Test 2: one 8000 second energy sample, for high accuracy idle power:
3.703 watts which is about +0.7% idle power increase.
Test 3: The load-no-load test with only idle state 1 enabled:
There was never an excessive energy sample for the no load samples.
The test ran for about 8 hours.
Maximum: 9.49 watts
Minimum: 9.13 watts
Recall that with the issue, the max would have been about 14 watts
Kernel: 5.4-rc6 + your items 1 and item 2 patches.
Idle governor = menu, because teo fixes are still pending.
Note: some reference data is from kernel 5.4-rc2, and really
should have been re-done with 5.4-rc6 as the baseline.
... Doug
