Yes, but it has a higher exit latency. Those data is provided to the cpuidle
framework, so it can decide which state to use.
I wonder if other people can confirm a similar amount of power savings? I am
trying to implement the RAM self refresh for i.MX and don't see much
improvment. I guess I still do something wrong...
