Just an update, as it's taking me longer to get what I thought would be the final version of this patch done.

I did some regression testing on other platforms, as a sanity check, and found on the Z16 G1 that it is reporting this feature as supported, but unfortunately it doesn't work (it switches to low power mode)

This is a FW issue so I'm asking the FW team for clarification on why I'm seeing this, why it isn't working, and how to fix it. 
This is going to take some time unfortunately, so this patch will be delayed a bit. Apologies to anybody waiting for this improvement.

Thanks
Mark
