All this can be realized some way or other through the touchpad
which is actually a TS+LCD. At least for those features for which the
main CPU is on, there is no problem: Wireless, BT, key lock status can
be shown there. Complex displays will be a bit trickier with the A20 off
and only the STM32 powered, but we can still manage some simple display
of e.g. the battery charging status.

Amicalement,
