linux-raspberrypi: stop setting powersave as the default CPU governor
* The defconfigs from the RPi Kernel set `powersave` as the default CPU governor, which is a bad idea as that reduces performance by setting the CPU frequency to the minimum one. * In case of a Yocto build user-space is not configured by default to change the CPU governor, so `powersave` will remain the CPU governor and it will slow down everything. * I submitted a fix for those defconfigs to upstream here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/5666 However, we shouldn't wait until that is accepted and backported to all the stable branches (if ever is). * This patch unsets the selection of `powersave` as the default CPU governor. * Then the CPU governor that will be selected as default after this patch will be the Linux's default one that is either `ondemand` or `schedutil` depending on the Kernel version.

# The defconfigs from the RPi Kernel set "powersave" as the default CPU governor.
|
||||
# That is a bad idea as it reduces performance, so we unset that default option here.
|
||||
# The option to build the powersave governor (but not as the default) is also enabled.
|
||||
# A fix for this was sent to upstream: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/5666
|
||||
# However, we need to carry this option override until those defconfigs are fixed on
|
||||
# *all* the kernel branches that we support. So that can be a long time depending
|
||||
# on wheter the above PR gets accepted and/or backported to the stable branches.
