+Subject: cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
+
+From: Tero Kristo <tero.kristo@nokia.com>
+
+commit 7467571f4480b273007517b26297c07154c73924 upstream.
+
+Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing
+nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors
+in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state
+selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle
+state residency statistics.
