Those C-State residency times are clearly wrong also. If you try hard with a minimal kernel the maximum sleep you can get is like 1.5 seconds. The kernel has some hard coded timers with 1 to 2 second periods (like slab cache reaper threads). For our non-edge kernel code these things report about right. As long as you have a 99.9% duty cycle of OFF to ON you get pretty good savings. The wake up information should be about right. Your USB Networking with MUSB will probably assure you of never getting ultra low power numbers but probably good for development. What is that USB2LCD device?
