I'm running this patch set on my XPS 13 (2015) and am not seeing significantly lower numbers with the 'min_power' and 'firmware_defaults' ALPM values set. Definitely hitting 4.x watts on normal-usage-idle but I was doing that prior to this set using TLP and running with max_power on the sata link (due to btrfs corruption concerns, etc.).
The following screenshot was with min_power: http://i.imgur.com/5xuJ5tv.png
Would love to hit 2W on this XPS 13 but no luck so far.
