In a few cases SoC can enter vmin/vlow from cpuidle one is from static screen on.
you can turn on display and set display off timeout to maximum (30 minutes) in android phone and then just leave the device idle for few minutes

another possible way (if display is not present) is to take some wake_lock (write something to /sys/power/wake_lock) and disconnect USB and leave the device idle for few minutes.
since taking wake_lock device will not enter suspend, cpuidle can make SoC enter deepest mode like vmin (if all other conditions like other subsystem sleeping and votes on xo clock removed, etc met).

Thanks,
