Can you please elaborate on this?
Why exactly are these states not suited for regular cpu idle? What
problems do they cause? e.g. long wakeup latency?
The flag and the for-s2-idle-only DT property are encoding a policy
rarher than a property, and as such I don't think this is the right way
to describe this in the DT. However, if there might be porperties of the
idle state that we could describe so that the OS can come to the same
conclusion.
Thanks,
Mark.
