At least the Nexus S doesn't implmeent any of the deep idle infrastructure. However, I'd expect that you can achieve some power saving from entering system suspend as if *everything* is off then the PMIC can be suspended which can enable additional power savings. Unless I'm missing something that'd be hard to hit with cpuidle only stuff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
