Hi Srinivas

Thanks for the review.

Currently, In ISH firmware, we are using CONNECTED_STANDBY_STATE_BIT
(To be compatible with Windows os which are using CONNECTED_STANDBY_STATE_BIT) to
notify sensor system power state. Then some sensor(such as hinge sensor)
can power On/Off itself according to current system power state.
