Hello,
I'm running Armbian on the original (LeMaker) A20 powered BananaPI :
cat /etc/issue
Armbian 21.08.6 Buster \l
I did an apt-get upgrade few days back, and since, it's CPU load is always around 1.00 even if I don't run my custom application (obviously, it wasn't the case before).
Nothing special in /var/logs/messages, but top show me a kernel process always on top :
top - 15:03:43 up 1 day, 17:40, 1 user, load average: 0,98, 1,03, 1,12

I did some googling but it doesn't help to find out what is this events_freezable_power_
In another hand, it doesn't explain this 1.00 load as you can see it consums only 10 to 15% of the CPU as well as my own custom application.
So any tip, help, whatever is welcome.
Thanks
