Hmm, interesting. That may actually work. I can't figure out how much
the external SDRAM is drawing, but the MCP SDRAM wants only about 0.5mA.
MCP NAND and NOR Flash each only drawn 10uA. I don't know how much WLAN
draws.

IO_1V8 also feeds STBY_1V2 (aka VDDalive) and Samsung don't specify what
current flows on that one.

Would be good if someone could measure the current on IO_1V8 during
standby. If we can indeed stay within the 1mA budget of MEMLDO, that
would be great.

That would be PMU.Active and CPU.SLEEP

Perhaps you were not the first who found all those different sleep
states in different chips confusing ;-)
