cpufreq: Select schedutil when using big.LITTLE
When we are using a system with big.LITTLE HMP
configuration, we need to use EAS to schedule the
system.
As can be seen from kernel/sched/topology.c:
"EAS can be used on a root domain if it meets all the following conditions:
1. an Energy Model (EM) is available;
2. the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set in the sched_domain hierarchy.
3. no SMT is detected.
4. the EM complexity is low enough to keep scheduling overheads low;
5. schedutil is driving the frequency of all CPUs of the rd;"
This means that at the very least, schedutil needs to be
available as a scheduling policy for EAS to work on these
systems. Make this explicit by defaulting to the schedutil
governor if BIG_LITTLE is selected.
Currently users of the TC2 board (like me) has to figure these
dependencies out themselves and it is not helpful.
