No.

The way it really should work is to check if the firmware supports LPI
(and what kind of it) and try to use _CST if LPI is not supported.

If LPI is supported by the firmware, use it if the LPI objects are
present as expected or fall back to using _CST otherwise.

This way it all should work without any new Kconfig options.

Thanks,
Rafael
