Posting a semaphore using the NoRTOS DPL API SemaphoreP_post() can disable the current power policy if the following circumstances are true: 1) Two SemaphoreP_post() calls from Hwi context 2) A thread is pending on a semaphore with SemaphoreP_pend() The DPL saves the old status as a global boolean so that the semaphore pend can enable the power policy again if it was originally enabled. However, if two SemaphoreP_post are called in close proximity in the Hwi context before the SemaphoreP_pend is processed, the global variable will be overwritten and the actual old value lost. This will result in SemaphoreP_pend never enabling the power policy again, and the device get stuck in a high power mode when it should not be.
