None of these SoCs support off-idle with mainline kernel so testing
with those is not enough :) Best to use some omap3 based device for
testing this.

So far I have verified that beagleboard xm, n900, and omap3730-evm
all hit off-idle with v3.16-rc4.

That's fine for GPMC connected devices, devices with Ethernet on
EHCI won't idle properly AFAIK.

If the RX pin does not wake it up, you need to configure the
pinctrl-single entry for it, and configure that pin as a wake-up
interrupt. See the interrupts-extended entry in omap3-beagle-xm.dts.

Yes only omap3 currently has the pieces needed for off-idle in the
mainline kernel.

Maybe because the console is enabled for that port?
