The 25mA sounds way too big to me even for retention mode, some
devices must be still on.

The off mode makes a huge difference for standby time, it should cut
down the total power consumption to something like 10+ mW with modem
enabled. Aproximately the breakdown is roughly: 900 uW for omap, 5 mW
for memory and 5 or more for the modem. Sorry I don't know the exact
numbers for the modem. But with 37xx torpedo, mainline kernel is
already getting very close to the 900 uW + 5 mW numbers for the CPU
module during idle measured from the ina219 shunt on the torpedo devkit.

After disabling CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, loading the LCD modules, and
blanking the screen, my n900 hits off mode just fine about once
a second. Sounds like you still have some extra devices enabled
causing it.

With LCD enabled, both LEDs are on contantly. I think we should
be able to hit retention in that state, at least n950 is doing it
with the Nokia kernel.

Regards,

Tony
