EDIT:  Yes it was (post 3.2).  This (FS #9890) and FS #8523 (Disable WPS updates when backlight is off) plus the DMA drive patch you applied add up to a quite significant power savings.
And FS #8668 - buschel's GUI boost lowers the base clock to 15Mhz, IIRC - leading to significant power savings on non-boosting codecs like FLAC.

Add them up and I am nowhere near shocked you get near twice the runtime of 3.2

BCM/LCD sleep is in 3.2.  For example, see:

My bad, I simply looked at the FS closure date vs 3.2.
