Nit: The ‘modify-phases’ form is usually on a separate line:

  (arguments
   `(#:phases
     (modify-phases %standard-phases
      ...)))

Are you sure about that?  There is a test/ directory in the Git repo.

The description should be a complete sentence; maybe (based on the README)

  some power saving.

The package builds fine.  :-)
