[Bug 1794254] [NEW] Dell Precision 5520 in Battery mode stopped Low Power modes. No CPU speed stepping.

[Johannes Horvath]

Public bug reported:

Booted the Dell 5520 with Xubuntu 18.04 Live USB boot disk. A full
battery shows about 12 hours remaining operating time.

Booting with updated Xubuntu 18.04 CPU clock seems to be fixed to
2.32GHz, Battery life 4 hours.

1.
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04

2.
Package name for meeting low power mode is unknown to me. (part of the kernel)

3.
When using the Dell precision 5520 in battery mode, I expect more then 10 hours battery life time.

4.
Instead the Battery is flat after 4 hours.
