It specifies that if the interrupt is not disabled on a pipe that is disabled, the system will not go to C3 state. This affects situations when only edp is connected and hdmi is not connected. That is Pipe B is disabled. Since this is generic for all haswell platforms not sure whether non Android systems goes to the C3 state if the BUN is not implemented. > > Details can be found in North Display Engine Registers-> North Display Engine Shared Functions -> Interrupts It says "enabled and _unmasked_".

Is that a problem on HSW?
