Dear Kai,


Thank you for your patch.

Could you please add the list of all the devices with the firmware 
version, you know this problem exists on? Please also add the URLs of 
the bug reports at the end of the commit message.

Is that problem logged somehow? Could a log message be added first?

How do you know? Where you able to look at the Microsoft Windows driver 
source code?

When was that restriction for CNP added?

Who knows how to contact Intel’s driver developers for Microsoft Windows?

Before deciding this, the power usage in the different states should be 
measured.


Kind regards,
