nRF52 Power management demo
###########################
Overview
********
This sample demonstrates a power manager app that uses the Zephyr
power management infrastructure to enter into Low Power state.
This app will cycle through the following power schemes each time idle thread
calls _sys_soc_suspend() hook function :
1. Low Power State: Low Power State is SOC specific and being in this state is
transparent to devices. SOC and devices do not lose context in this Mode.
SOC supports the following two Low Power states :
A. CONSTANT LATENCY LOW POWER MODE : This Low Power State triggers CONSTLAT
task on nrf52 SOC. In this Mode there is Low Exit latency and 16MHz Clock
is kept ON.
B. LOW POWER STATE : In this Power State LOWPWR task is triggered on nrf52
SOC. This is a deeper power state than CONSTANT LATENCY Mode. In this mode
the 16MHz Clock is turned off and only 32KHz clock is used.
2. Deep Sleep: This Power State is mapped to SYSTEM OFF state. In this mode
all devices on board get suspended. All devices and SOC lose context on
wake up.
3. No-op: No operation, letting kernel idle.
Requirements

Application creates Idleness, Due to which System Idle Thread is
scheduled and it enters into various Low Power States.
