Yes. It's the same C-state configuration we have on our ARMv8 big.LITTLE JUNO (Cortex A57, A53) board. # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/name WFI cpu-sleep-0 cluster-sleep-0 > If this is right, there may be a bug. > > For MC-level CPU0: > sg_mask=0x1 sge->nr_idle_states=2 sge->idle_states_below=0 > cpuidle_idx=0 group_idx=1 shallowest_state=1 > > See, group_idle_state() finally returns 1 as CPU0's MC-level > idle engery model index, and this is obviously wrong.

In any case we will have to resolve this issue in the next version. Thanks for pointing this out!
