Well, I would guess that quite a bit of the code from the iLiad was copied when writing the code for the DR. If the DR's hardware is based on the iLiad's then some of the same code would be quite useful.

At the same time, I was wrong to imply that CPU scaling is the only kind of power management. Depending on the hardware it may also be possible to turn various things off when they're not needed; it's possible that some of that has yet to be implemented.

Also, iRex is talking about implementing suspend-to-RAM on the DR in the future, so maybe it has something to do with that?
