The main thing of concern is powertop output and raw power usage monitoring. If both are OK, there is nothing to worry about.

Other than that, I can't help - it's Your device, so You have best chances to observe it and report oddities. No other things I can suggest without actually having device in hand.

Yes but other phones can do the test also.
I doubt is only my phone.

It seems (if other test confirm it) that with U-Boot some hw is configured differently (or misconfigured) and there is a 6-8mA more power consuming on idle.
And this isn't normal.

After that, however, if someone wanted to say that for N900 a maximum range of 3-4 days for a full idle is acceptable, is just a speech, but we do spend the normal thing to see that normality would be instead of 6 or 7 days
