Quite the reverse in many cases. If your hardware has low power idle you probably have almost no firmware involved (if any). It's the old world model of S3 which is all firmware powered.
The extreme case of this is that there are processors out there where the equivalent of a 'wait for IRQ' instruction is the entire thing.
