I don't know off-hand. I added Rafael and linux-pm in case they do. If not, I suggest working up a patch to do that and a commit log that explains why that's a good idea and then we can have a discussion about it. This thread really doesn't have that justification. It says "putting device X in D3cold at shutdown saves 0.03w while in S5", but doesn't explain why that's safe or desirable for all devices. Bjorn
