Yes I did:

OK, I've just tried with the same kernel as you did (linux-omap master
+  v3.1-rc4 merge) and I can't get any other state than 0:

root@beagleboard:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle# cat state?/time
162570397
0
0
0
0
0
0


Just one question. Do you access the shell through UART?

What I do is waiting for 20 seconds to allow the UART to suspend and
then see state reports.
