The changes don't disable the deeper idle states on boards where the HW waorkaround is available. There is a large number of boards in the wild which can not use the HW workaround, as they use GPIO_6 for other purposes. The aim of this series is to have an automatic software workaround available for those boards. Regards, Lucas
