Enhancement: Add a dummy energy meter class
Created by: cloverpop
If possible, please add a dummy energy meter class.
Currently, "hwmon"/"AEP"/"ACME" can be used for physical power consumption. If the target board doesn't have any hardware energy meter ( e.g. hwmon/AEP/ACME), it's better for us to set a dummy energy meter module ( let's assume it "dummy_emeter" ), which can function as if it is a physical energy meter.
Of course, all the test results reported by the dummy emeter are only for simulation and we don't care about the result validity. It's perfect if the dummy emeter reports lower power consumption for LITTLE cpu and higher power consumption for big cpu.
Benefit: With this new module, we can easily demo some notebooks for energy analysis because in customer site, it is difficult to set up a workable AEP/ACME environment in demo time!
Please consider this enhancement. Thanks.
