You can start by looking into each of the following:

$ ls -1d /sys/devices/platform/soc@0/*/devfreq/*/trans_stat

and look if the transitions happen when a specific driver that is a icc user suspends.

You can also look at:

/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_summary

and:

/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph

OK, I admit, this patchset doesn't provide support for all the icc consumer drivers.
But that should come at a later stage. I only provided example like fec and usdhc, to show
how it all fits together.

Do you have the following changes into your tree?

I forgot to update these in the current version of the patchset. Will do in the next version.

Also, would help a lot if you could give me a link to a tree you're testing with.
That way I can look exactly at what's going on.
