thanks for your response.

not setting MSR_POW gives same result.

if I set kernel.powersave-nap=1 it works fine, so apparently
NAP/DOZE mode does work (if CPU is idle). This saves almost no
power though. Standby mode saves about 300-500 mW.

The problem could well be our board though, today I learned it does
work by connecting an (inactive) JTAG debugger.
Also, on another board it always works.

And indeed wake-up occurs through GPIO interrupt or UART interrupt
(key press on console).
