Subject: [CPUFREQ] ondemand: add a check to avoid negative load calculation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0af99b13c9f323e658b4f1d69a1ccae7d6f3f80a;p=linux-beck.git

[CPUFREQ] ondemand: add a check to avoid negative load calculation

Due to rounding and inexact jiffy accounting, idle_ticks can sometimes
be higher than total_ticks. Make sure those cases are handled as
zero load case.
