AMD Posts Latest Linux Patches For Improving S5 Power Consumption


One of the areas worked on by AMD Linux engineers recently to better optimize the Linux kernel on AMD Ryzen platforms is for lowering the power consumption in S5 state due to some devices not being put into a low power state when the system is powered off

AMD engineer Mario Limonciello on Sunday posted the sixth iteration of these Linux kernel patches to help with the S5 power consumption. With better aligning to Microsoft Windows behavior where most of the OEMs validate and focus their efforts on, these Linux improvements should help with better S5 handling. The v6 patches re-base the several dozen lines of code against the Linux 6.17-rc2 upstream state along with fixing a reported issue and updating some of the commit messages.
