We are using the rtc for wakeup and measure discharge of battery
for a time frame of about 300 seconds.

It was in our tree. It can be enabled for the gta04a5. We have even done
that. But then suspend while charging breaks. I have no idea how to do a
proper if-not-charging-power-idle-osc-off patch... 

Yes there are other places where we can optimize suspend current. But
lets first find out why ehci-omap seems to cause trouble here.
So we are looking for around 15mA of additional suspend current when the
module is loaded. 
Shouldn't the reset line of the phy (usb-nop-xceiv) be set to low when
going to suspend? I do not see code how to do it. I guess that is the
reason.

BTW:
root@letux:~# cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/48064800.ehci/power/runtime_status 
active
