ryanrhughes proposed and merged kernel package changes into the n1x branch to let suspend-to-idle reach Standby-DRIPS. The patches adjust firmware idle-state latency handling and enable deeper PCIe link power saving for NVMe on N1x systems. The intended benefit is lower battery drain and less heat while the laptop sleeps. omacom/omarchy-pkgs#991
The author's overnight ASUS ProArt P14 measurement was 0.77 W, but that run included additional patches outside this proposal. A shorter test using only the two submitted patches measured 1.3 W and reached the same deep state. These are author-reported results, and the branch merge does not establish a stable release.
