Review power saving modes kernel configurations

[carlossvg]

@shuhaowu reported some CPU frequency changes. A possible explanation could be something related with power management. We should review all the related configurations. From the top of my head these are some of the things that we should take into account:

• Apparently, power issues could cause a kernel log message which might affect the latency measurements

are CPU core caches separated in the pi4 image?
