Hi list,

Is this an hardware limitation or a software one?
If i understood well this occur because the active bus polling that is
required to maintain communication with usb devices deny the CPU from
switching to C3, and even if there are no usb device connected but the
modules are loaded the polling prevent the switch.
Will it be possible to increase the polling time, so that maybe the
CPU can enter that state?
