This happens sometime after calibration of backlight, CPU, CPU wakeup, USB, and rfkill. Hardware is Thinkpad x201t.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have specific steps to trigger the issue?
Ideally it should be reported upstream on https://us-bz3.devzing.com/powertopbugs/

This happens every time I run 'sudo powertop -c' on this machine.
