Hi Shuah,

At the Linaro power management working group, we've created a simple
repository of pass/fail *functional* tests for various areas of
interest in power management - cpuidle, cpufreq, hotplug. We call it
PM-QA[1]

Some of our members have found PM-QA useful to exercise the various
sysfs interfaces and get rid of the obvious issues (missing Kconfig
options, basic exercising of cpufreq drivers being a couple of
examples).

Let me know if these are useful and in the right format to seed your
library of testcases.

Regards,
Amit
