Enclosed please find the link to the Weekly Status report
for the Power Management working group for the week ending 2011-09-16.

== Weekly Status Report ==
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/PowerManagement/Status/2011-09-15

== Summary ==
* The PMWG will handle the common struck clk work, going forward
* Steve Jahnke gave thermal talk at Linux Plumbers Conference which was pretty well received. Got a lot of comments and feedback from not just upstream, but also other Si vendors (Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm).
     * Basic feedback was that existing framework SHOULD be able to handle what we need (governor structure, etc.) so we should submit patches to that first.
     * The more complex items (tying multiple sensors into a single thermal zone) would be welcomed additions so we should propose and take the lead here
   * Samsung: Hosted the thermal sensor driver, thermal governor , cooling devices and the DVFS fixes that are not in mainline
   * Started testing sched_mc features in samsung exynos board.
   * Continuing the work on imx cpuidle driver, modifying code to be more community friendly and testing and fixing issues for compatibility with i.MX6Q.
   * Initial tests on the cpuidle menu governor showed some significant power inefficiency for some contexts, will discuss the findings with Linaro PMWG.
   * Studying the impact of flags and fields of struct sched_domain in scheduling policy

Best regards,
Mounir
