Why do you think it's a bug?
Maybe some intervall loads the CPU more than the remaining time.
The elan520 has a very load dependend power consumption.
I don't know what happens special at 60min uptime - maybe something
simple like named cache garbadge collection or so.
The hifn chip consume a lot of power independend of beeing used or not,
so removing kernel support for it won't help much.
