Sounds reasonable, but can you describe the "weakness" a little more?
IOW, what exactly happens if this is not done? It sounds like the CPU
might immediately go back to retention, but how does that happen unless
it does a WFI?
Also, this sounds like a fix to me, and should probably be broken out
accordingly.
