In low power modes, the chip clock source for platform integrated devices is 32kHz. It is generated internally and supplied by a crystal oscillator. However using a 32kHz sourced from crystal oscillator has high power penalty. There is an option to get an external 32kHz clock from the platform. Past experience shows that the reliability is platform dependent, i.e. on some platforms it works good and on other it doesn’t. Working from external clock will save 0.5 mW in sleep state, from overall 1.8mW that we have today, i.e. almost 30%. Each OEM can enable or disable the use of the external 32kHz clock by setting a BIOS configuration. In case the OEM configured to use 32kHz external clock the driver will pass this indication to the FW.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
