Sounds like there's something else missing too then. Maybe give
v3.18-rc1 and device tree based boot a try?

FYI, there's some PM support there too since v3.16-rc7, so using
anything pre v3.17 is probably not fun on the battery. Well it works
with omap2plus_defconfig long as serial port timeouts are configured,
no USB cable is connected and and the screen is blanked. When it works,
both keyboard debug LEDs will go off during idle, which really should
be most of the time if you plan to use it as a phone. The left debug
LED goes off for retention idle, when both go off it's hitting
off-idle.

I'm using the following test script here, if it does not idle for
you, there are probably some other drivers loaded that currently
block deeper idle states.

Tony
