Sorry for the slow response - I've just had a chance to run some more tests.

I tried to disable the SD card reader in the BIOS as suggested earlier
in the thread, but that didn't seem to make a significant change.
More inline below.

I'm not entirely sure how turbostat records metrics so wasn't sure how
to measure correctly.  I kept turbostat running while performing a
s2idle and recorded the output:

I'm not familiar with the output format - I see some high percentages
of C10, but nothing in Pkg%pc10. Which is of interest in this
scenario?

I've confirmed that there's no FW errors for the i915.
