How is the idle power consumption of RK3588? I bet it's pretty high, I'd expect more than 1W.

I have a board with old MT6572, it idles at 270mW with working CPU, even less when in semi-sleep (turns off CPU and wakes up every half a second).

Here are some numbers from Orange Pi 5 Plus: https://xnux.eu/log/088.html

    2.4W – idle

That's from early upstreaming, and for the whole board. But I can't imagine it being much lower these days.
