Hi Rui,

Beside the fact which Javi pointed out in his email, there is an issue 
in the patch itself.
The idea behind the patch is good, but the patch should have some 
improvements, i.e:
- strncpy instead of strcpy,
- if the governor name is not found in the registered governor's list by 
__find_governor (and then null is set) we should probably switch to 
default governor,
- add DT documentation,

Lukasz
