Given Android has its own power management story independent of what upstream is doing those power changes are unlikely to be relevant or significant to Android.

I know (vaguely) that android has its own power management system, and I don't know how much it ties into what the kernel uses on a standard laptop.

But the changes to the normal kernel one as well as some of the changes in data structures are algorithms designed to be more efficient in the first place are probably still useful.
