Subject: test/power: add delay before checking CPU frequency
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?p=dpdk.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=00456850be40d8b663d1066763ddedffe4346585

test/power: add delay before checking CPU frequency

For some platforms the newly-set frequency may not be effective
immediately. If we didn't get the right value from cpuinfo_cur_freq
immediately, add 10ms delay each time before rechecking until
timeout.

From our test, for some arm platforms, it requires up to 700ms when
going from a minimum to a maximum frequency. And it's not the
driver/software issue.
