disable deep sleep when Iota LEDB is on TI's Iota chip docs say that CLK13M must be running in order for LEDB to work, and practical experience on Mot C139 which uses Iota LEDB for its keypad backlight concurs: if Calypso enters deep sleep while the keypad backlight is turned on, the light flickers visibly as the chipset goes into and out of deep sleep. TI's original L1 sleep manager code had logic to disable deep sleep when LT_Status() returns nonzero, but that function only works for B-Sample and C-Sample LT, always returns 0 on BOARD 41 - no check of Iota LEDB status anywhere. Change this code for our current hardware: disable deep sleep when Iota LEDB has been turned on through LLS.

FC Tourmaline stdmodem functional configuration is equivalent to Magnetite
hybrid.  The only intentional diff from Magnetite to Tourmaline in the modem
configuration is the change of Nucleus: Magnetite uses the blob version of
Nucleus which came with TCS211-20070608, whereas Tourmaline uses the source
version of Nucleus by Comrade XVilka.  It is essentially a change from an
unknown version of Nucleus to a known one, thus it should generally be
considered an improvement - but as always with such changes, extensive
verification and testing needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing got
broken.

Aside from the one intentional change of Nucleus version, FC Tourmaline is an
entirely new firmware source tree, thus it is always possible that something
could have got broken unintentionally, particularly in rarely-tested areas of
the firmware.  Therefore, extensive testing will need to be done before we can
declare Tourmaline stdmodem as officially replacing Magnetite hybrid for stable
modem products.
