Is high UART power consumption still a thing with 52832 and NCS?

I see a lot of threads about how you need to disable the UART while you're not using it because it has a couple of milliamps power consumption.

However, most of those threads are about nRF51 chips and the NRF5 SDK.

Is this still relevant for the 52832 and the nRF Connect SDK and how would I go about turning the UART on and off?

Hello,

We recommend calling API: app_uart_close() when turning off the UART, and reinitializing the UART when turning it on.

Hope it helps.

Which include file would I need for app_uart_close() and how can I reinitialize the UART?
