    The Power Management Working Group at Linaro focuses on consolidating power management code across different architectures and developing tools to help optimize power debugging. Some of their work so far includes exporting clock trees to debugfs, developing cpufreq and cpuidle drivers, and tools like powertop and powerdebug. They aim to tackle growing complexity in power management by handling issues like thermal management, runtime power management, OPP handling, and abstracting low-level clock and power domain interactions.
