Running on battery here and flashing firmware draws 40 watts with fans spinning at max. No reason for that.

CPU Scheduler should be on-demand, Io should be best effort.

Evaluate.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Linux configuration for CPU and I/O schedulers, then determine where performance schedulers are selected. Done means CPU uses on-demand and I/O uses best effort, with the battery and firmware-flashing power behavior evaluated.
