-
-Most of the code in Linux is device drivers, so most of the Linux power
-management (PM) code is also driver-specific.  Most drivers will do very
-little; others, especially for platforms with small batteries (like cell
-phones), will do a lot.
-
-This writeup gives an overview of how drivers interact with system-wide
-power management goals, emphasizing the models and interfaces that are
-shared by everything that hooks up to the driver model core.  Read it as
-background for the domain-specific work you'd do with any specific driver.
-
-
-Two Models for Device Power Management
-======================================
-Drivers will use one or both of these models to put devices into low-power
-states:
-
-    System Sleep model:
-	Drivers can enter low-power states as part of entering system-wide
-	low-power states like "suspend" (also known as "suspend-to-RAM"), or
-	(mostly for systems with disks) "hibernation" (also known as
-	"suspend-to-disk").
-
-	This is something that device, bus, and class drivers collaborate on
-	by implementing various role-specific suspend and resume methods to
-	cleanly power down hardware and software subsystems, then reactivate
-	them without loss of data.
-
-	Some drivers can manage hardware wakeup events, which make the system
-	leave the low-power state.  This feature may be enabled or disabled
-	using the relevant /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file (for Ethernet
-	drivers the ioctl interface used by ethtool may also be used for this
-	purpose); enabling it may cost some power usage, but let the whole
-	system enter low-power states more often.
-
-    Runtime Power Management model:
-	Devices may also be put into low-power states while the system is
-	running, independently of other power management activity in principle.
-	However, devices are not generally independent of each other (for
-	example, a parent device cannot be suspended unless all of its child
-	devices have been suspended).  Moreover, depending on the bus type the
-	device is on, it may be necessary to carry out some bus-specific
-	operations on the device for this purpose.  Devices put into low power
-	states at run time may require special handling during system-wide power
-	transitions (suspend or hibernation).
-
-	For these reasons not only the device driver itself, but also the
-	appropriate subsystem (bus type, device type or device class) driver and
-	the PM core are involved in runtime power management.  As in the system
-	sleep power management case, they need to collaborate by implementing
-	various role-specific suspend and resume methods, so that the hardware
-	is cleanly powered down and reactivated without data or service loss.
-
-There's not a lot to be said about those low-power states except that they are
-very system-specific, and often device-specific.  Also, that if enough devices
-have been put into low-power states (at runtime), the effect may be very similar
-to entering some system-wide low-power state (system sleep) ... and that
-synergies exist, so that several drivers using runtime PM might put the system
-into a state where even deeper power saving options are available.
-
-Most suspended devices will have quiesced all I/O: no more DMA or IRQs (except
-for wakeup events), no more data read or written, and requests from upstream
-drivers are no longer accepted.  A given bus or platform may have different
-requirements though.
-
-Examples of hardware wakeup events include an alarm from a real time clock,
-network wake-on-LAN packets, keyboard or mouse activity, and media insertion
-or removal (for PCMCIA, MMC/SD, USB, and so on).
-
-
-Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States
-===========================================
-There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type,
-device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power
-management of devices they are concerned with.  These interfaces cover both
-system sleep and runtime power management.
-
-
-Device Power Management Operations
-----------------------------------
-Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the
-device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type
-struct dev_pm_ops:
-
-struct dev_pm_ops {
-	int (*prepare)(struct device *dev);
-	void (*complete)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*suspend)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*freeze)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*thaw)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*restore)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*freeze_late)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*thaw_early)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*poweroff_late)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*restore_early)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);
-	int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);
-};
-
-This structure is defined in include/linux/pm.h and the methods included in it
-are also described in that file.  Their roles will be explained in what follows.
-For now, it should be sufficient to remember that the last three methods are
-specific to runtime power management while the remaining ones are used during
-system-wide power transitions.
-
-There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management
-operations available at least for some subsystems.  This approach does not use
-struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable only for implementing system sleep
-power management methods.  Therefore it is not described in this document, so
-please refer directly to the source code for more information about it.
-
-
-Subsystem-Level Methods
------------------------
-The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct dev_pm_ops
-pointed to by the ops member of struct dev_pm_domain, or by the pm member of
-struct bus_type, struct device_type and struct class.  They are mostly of
-interest to the people writing infrastructure for platforms and buses, like PCI
-or USB, or device type and device class drivers.  They also are relevant to the
-writers of device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, device types, device
-classes and bus types) don't provide all power management methods.
-
-Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the
-drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on.  Not many people
-write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds
-on top of bus-specific framework code.
-
-For more information on these driver calls, see the description later;
-they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child
-sequencing in the driver model tree.
-
-
-/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files
------------------------------------
-All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling
-of system wakeup events (hardware signals that can force the system out of a
-sleep state).  These fields are initialized by bus or device driver code using
-device_set_wakeup_capable() and device_set_wakeup_enable(), defined in
-include/linux/pm_wakeup.h.
-
-The "power.can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can
-physically support wakeup events.  The device_set_wakeup_capable() routine
-affects this flag.  The "power.wakeup" field is a pointer to an object of type
-struct wakeup_source used for controlling whether or not the device should use
-its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying the PM core of system wakeup
-events signaled by the device.  This object is only present for wakeup-capable
-devices (i.e. devices whose "can_wakeup" flags are set) and is created (or
-removed) by device_set_wakeup_capable().
-
-Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware
-matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it.  By contrast,
-whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy
-decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the
-"power/wakeup" file.  User space can write the strings "enabled" or "disabled"
-to it to indicate whether or not, respectively, the device is supposed to signal
-system wakeup.  This file is only present if the "power.wakeup" object exists
-for the given device and is created (or removed) along with that object, by
-device_set_wakeup_capable().  Reads from the file will return the corresponding
-string.
-
-The "power/wakeup" file is supposed to contain the "disabled" string initially
-for the majority of devices; the major exceptions are power buttons, keyboards,
-and Ethernet adapters whose WoL (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with
-ethtool.  It should also default to "enabled" for devices that don't generate
-wakeup requests on their own but merely forward wakeup requests from one bus to
-another (like PCI Express ports).
-
-The device_may_wakeup() routine returns true only if the "power.wakeup" object
-exists and the corresponding "power/wakeup" file contains the string "enabled".
-This information is used by subsystems, like the PCI bus type code, to see
-whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup mechanisms.  If device wakeup
-mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by drivers, they also should use
-device_may_wakeup() to decide what to do during a system sleep transition.
-Device drivers, however, are not supposed to call device_set_wakeup_enable()
-directly in any case.
-
-It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote
-wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the
-same physical mechanism.  Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in
-low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which
-they should be put into the full-power state.  Those interrupts may or may not
-be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design.  On
-some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states.  In any
-case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for
-all devices and drivers that support it.
-
-/sys/devices/.../power/control files
-------------------------------------
-Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to
-runtime power management.  This flag, called runtime_auto, is initialized by the
-bus type (or generally subsystem) code using pm_runtime_allow() or
-pm_runtime_forbid(); the default is to allow runtime power management.
-
-The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to
-the device's power/control sysfs file.  Writing "auto" calls pm_runtime_allow(),
-setting the flag and allowing the device to be runtime power-managed by its
-driver.  Writing "on" calls pm_runtime_forbid(), clearing the flag, returning
-the device to full power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the
-device from being runtime power-managed.  User space can check the current value
-of the runtime_auto flag by reading the file.
-
-The device's runtime_auto flag has no effect on the handling of system-wide
-power transitions.  In particular, the device can (and in the majority of cases
-should and will) be put into a low-power state during a system-wide transition
-to a sleep state even though its runtime_auto flag is clear.
-
-For more information about the runtime power management framework, refer to
-Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
-
-
-Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Sleep States
-======================================================
-When the system goes into a sleep state, each device's driver is asked to
-suspend the device by putting it into a state compatible with the target
-system state.  That's usually some version of "off", but the details are
-system-specific.  Also, wakeup-enabled devices will usually stay partly
-functional in order to wake the system.
-
-When the system leaves that low-power state, the device's driver is asked to
-resume it by returning it to full power.  The suspend and resume operations
-always go together, and both are multi-phase operations.
-
-For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the device using class code
-and then turn its hardware as "off" as possible during suspend_noirq.  The
-matching resume calls would then completely reinitialize the hardware
-before reactivating its class I/O queues.
-
-More power-aware drivers might prepare the devices for triggering system wakeup
-events.
-
-
-Call Sequence Guarantees
-------------------------
-To ensure that bridges and similar links needing to talk to a device are
-available when the device is suspended or resumed, the device tree is
-walked in a bottom-up order to suspend devices.  A top-down order is
-used to resume those devices.
-
-The ordering of the device tree is defined by the order in which devices
-get registered:  a child can never be registered, probed or resumed before
-its parent; and can't be removed or suspended after that parent.
-
-The policy is that the device tree should match hardware bus topology.
-(Or at least the control bus, for devices which use multiple busses.)
-In particular, this means that a device registration may fail if the parent of
-the device is suspending (i.e. has been chosen by the PM core as the next
-device to suspend) or has already suspended, as well as after all of the other
-devices have been suspended.  Device drivers must be prepared to cope with such
-situations.
-
-
-System Power Management Phases
-------------------------------
-Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases.  Different phases
-are used for freeze, standby, and memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the
-hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk").  Each phase involves executing callbacks
-for every device before the next phase begins.  Not all busses or classes
-support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks.  The
-various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are
-unfrozen.  Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have
-been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag).
-
-All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods
-defined in dev->pm_domain->ops, dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, dev->class->pm or
-dev->driver->pm).  These callbacks are regarded by the PM core as mutually
-exclusive.  Moreover, PM domain callbacks always take precedence over all of the
-other callbacks and, for example, type callbacks take precedence over bus, class
-and driver callbacks.  To be precise, the following rules are used to determine
-which callback to execute in the given phase:
-
-    1.	If dev->pm_domain is present, the PM core will choose the callback
-	included in dev->pm_domain->ops for execution
-
-    2.	Otherwise, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present, the callback
-	included in dev->type->pm will be chosen for execution.
-
-    3.	Otherwise, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are present, the
-	callback included in dev->class->pm will be chosen for execution.
-
-    4.	Otherwise, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present, the callback
-	included in dev->bus->pm will be chosen for execution.
-
-This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus
-types or device classes if necessary.
-
-The PM domain, type, class and bus callbacks may in turn invoke device- or
-driver-specific methods stored in dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to do
-that.
-
-If the subsystem callback chosen for execution is not present, the PM core will
-execute the corresponding method from dev->driver->pm instead if there is one.
-
-
-Entering System Suspend
------------------------
-When the system goes into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state,
-the phases are:
-
-		prepare, suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq.
-
-    1.	The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices
-	from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the
-	children of a device had been suspended if new children could be
-	registered at will.  (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any
-	time.)  Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare
-	phase the device tree is traversed top-down.
-
-	After the prepare callback method returns, no new children may be
-	registered below the device.  The method may also prepare the device or
-	driver in some way for the upcoming system power transition, but it
-	should not put the device into a low-power state.
-
-	For devices supporting runtime power management, the return value of the
-	prepare callback can be used to indicate to the PM core that it may
-	safely leave the device in runtime suspend (if runtime-suspended
-	already), provided that all of the device's descendants are also left in
-	runtime suspend.  Namely, if the prepare callback returns a positive
-	number and that happens for all of the descendants of the device too,
-	and all of them (including the device itself) are runtime-suspended, the
-	PM core will skip the suspend, suspend_late and	suspend_noirq suspend
-	phases as well as the resume_noirq, resume_early and resume phases of
-	the following system resume for all of these devices.	In that case,
-	the complete callback will be called directly after the prepare callback
-	and is entirely responsible for bringing the device back to the
-	functional state as appropriate.
-
-	Note that this direct-complete procedure applies even if the device is
-	disabled for runtime PM; only the runtime-PM status matters.  It follows
-	that if a device has system-sleep callbacks but does not support runtime
-	PM, then its prepare callback must never return a positive value.  This
-	is because all devices are initially set to runtime-suspended with
-	runtime PM disabled.
-
-    2.	The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing
-	I/O.  They also may save the device registers and put it into the
-	appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on,
-	and they may enable wakeup events.
-
-    3	For a number of devices it is convenient to split suspend into the
-	"quiesce device" and "save device state" phases, in which cases
-	suspend_late is meant to do the latter.  It is always executed after
-	runtime power management has been disabled for all devices.
-
-    4.	The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled,
-	which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while
-	the callback method is running.  The methods should save the values of
-	the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the
-	device into the appropriate low-power state.
-
-	The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this
-	callback.  However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt
-	vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter
-	an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt
-	generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low
-	power.
-
-At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions
-(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous
-state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state.
-On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they
-will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages.  (Drivers supporting
-runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.)
-
-If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for
-generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the
-system is in the sleep state.  For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify
-GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and
-pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal.
-
-If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired
-low-power state.  Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all
-the devices that were suspended.
-
-
-Leaving System Suspend
-----------------------
-When resuming from freeze, standby or memory sleep, the phases are:
-
-		resume_noirq, resume_early, resume, complete.
-
-    1.	The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed
-	before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked.  This generally
-	means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase.  If the bus type
-	permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should
-	bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can
-	recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any,
-	and handle them correctly.
-
-	For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into
-	the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the
-	standard configuration registers of the device.  Then it calls the
-	device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific
-	actions.
-
-    2.	The resume_early methods should prepare devices for the execution of
-	the resume methods.  This generally involves undoing the actions of the
-	preceding suspend_late phase.
-
-    3	The resume methods should bring the device back to its operating
-	state, so that it can perform normal I/O.  This generally involves
-	undoing the actions of the suspend phase.
-
-    4.	The complete phase should undo the actions of the prepare phase.  Note,
-	however, that new children may be registered below the device as soon as
-	the resume callbacks occur; it's not necessary to wait until the
-	complete phase.
-
-	Moreover, if the preceding prepare callback returned a positive number,
-	the device may have been left in runtime suspend throughout the whole
-	system suspend and resume (the suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq
-	phases of system suspend and the resume_noirq, resume_early, resume
-	phases of system resume may have been skipped for it).  In that case,
-	the complete callback is entirely responsible for bringing the device
-	back to the functional state after system suspend if necessary.  [For
-	example, it may need to queue up a runtime resume request for the device
-	for this purpose.]  To check if that is the case, the complete callback
-	can consult the device's power.direct_complete flag.  Namely, if that
-	flag is set when the complete callback is being run, it has been called
-	directly after the preceding prepare and special action may be required
-	to make the device work correctly afterward.
-
-At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before
-suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are
-gated on.
-
-However, the details here may again be platform-specific.  For example,
-some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at
-the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension.
-That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed,
-which could easily affect how a driver works.
-
-Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the
-suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization.
-This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents
-and chip errata.  It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since
-the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it usually
-is not the case).
-
-Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed
-while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible.
-PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses
-where common Linux platforms will see such removal.  Details of how drivers
-will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often
-involve a separate thread.
-
-These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such
-errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in
-the system log.
-
-
-Entering Hibernation
---------------------
-Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the other
-sleep states, because it involves creating and saving a system image.
-Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of
-callbacks.  These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has
-been freed.
-
-The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create
-an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all
-devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the
-system (poweroff).  The phases used to accomplish this are:
-
-	prepare, freeze, freeze_late, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw_early,
-	thaw, complete, prepare, poweroff, poweroff_late, poweroff_noirq
-
-    1.	The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section
-	above.
-
-    2.	The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate
-	IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers.
-	However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to
-	save time it's best not to do so.  Also, the device should not be
-	prepared to generate wakeup events.
-
-    3.	The freeze_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase described
-	above, except that the device should not be put in a low-power state and
-	should not be allowed to generate wakeup events by it.
-
-    4.	The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed
-	above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power
-	state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events.
-
-At this point the system image is created.  All devices should be inactive and
-the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the
-image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state.
-
-    5.	The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed
-	above.  The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is
-	in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase.
-
-    6.	The thaw_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase described
-	above.  Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding
-	freeze_late, if necessary.
-
-    7.	The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above.  Its
-	methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it
-	can be used for saving the image if necessary.
-
-    8.	The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section
-	above.
-
-At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be
-prepared for the upcoming system shutdown.  This is much like suspending them
-before putting the system into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state,
-and the phases are similar.
-
-    9.	The prepare phase is discussed above.
-
-    10.	The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase.
-
-    11.	The poweroff_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase.
-
-    12.	The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase.
-
-The poweroff, poweroff_late and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially
-the same things as the suspend, suspend_late and suspend_noirq callbacks,
-respectively.  The only notable difference is that they need not store the
-device register values, because the registers should already have been stored
-during the freeze, freeze_late or freeze_noirq phases.
-
-
-Leaving Hibernation
--------------------
-Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep
-state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires
-a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents
-to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel.
-
-Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the
-pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this
-can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no
-established protocol for passing the necessary information.  So instead, the
-boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into
-memory and passes control to it in the usual way.  Then the boot kernel reads
-the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes
-control to the image kernel.  Thus two different kernels are involved in
-resuming from hibernation.  In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different
-from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version.
-This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems.
-
-To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to
-include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage
-medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the
-drivers present in the image kernel.  After the image has been loaded, the
-devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back
-to the image kernel.  This is very similar to the initial steps involved in
-creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare,
-freeze, and freeze_noirq phases.  However the devices affected by these phases
-are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in
-whatever state the boot loader left them.
-
-Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
-kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
-thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally.  This
-happens only rarely.  Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are
-restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then
-becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state.
-
-To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation
-functionality.  The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep
-state, although it involves different phases:
-
-	restore_noirq, restore_early, restore, complete
-
-    1.	The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase.
-
-    2.	The restore_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase.
-
-    3.	The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase.
-
-    4.	The complete phase is discussed above.
-
-The main difference from resume[_early|_noirq] is that restore[_early|_noirq]
-must assume the device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or
-the boot kernel.  Consequently the state of the device may be different from the
-state remembered from the freeze, freeze_late and freeze_noirq phases.  The
-device may even need to be reset and completely re-initialized.  In many cases
-this difference doesn't matter, so the resume[_early|_noirq] and
-restore[_early|_norq] method pointers can be set to the same routines.
-Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a situation
-where it actually does matter.
-
-
-Device Power Management Domains
--------------------------------
-Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources.  In those
-cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states
-individually.  Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put
-into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared
-power resource.  Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state
-together, by turning the shared power resource on.  A set of devices with this
-property is often referred to as a power domain. A power domain may also be
-nested inside another power domain. The nested domain is referred to as the
-sub-domain of the parent domain.
-
-Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct
-device.  This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_domain,
-defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks
-analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
-for the given device during all power transitions, instead of the respective
-subsystem-level callbacks.  Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is
-not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be
-executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and
-analogously for all of the remaining callbacks.  In other words, power
-management domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take
-precedence over the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus
-type).
-
-The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms
-needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many
-different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the
-support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by
-modifying the platform bus type.  Other platforms need not implement it or take
-it into account in any way.
-
-Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their
-runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see
-Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for more information).  If an IRQ-safe
-device belongs to a PM domain, the runtime PM of the domain will be
-disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it
-makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it
-are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime
-PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the
-additional restriction that all child domains of an IRQ-safe parent must also
-be IRQ-safe.
-
-Device Low Power (suspend) States
----------------------------------
-Device low-power states aren't standard.  One device might only handle
-"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of
-"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on"
-faster than from a full "off".
-
-Some busses define rules about what different suspend states mean.  PCI
-gives one example:  after the suspend sequence completes, a non-legacy
-PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs, and any wakeup events it
-issues would be issued through the PME# bus signal.  Plus, there are
-several PCI-standard device states, some of which are optional.
-
-In contrast, integrated system-on-chip processors often use IRQs as the
-wakeup event sources (so drivers would call enable_irq_wake) and might
-be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay
-active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peripherals that sleep).
-
-Some details here may be platform-specific.  Systems may have devices that
-can be fully active in certain sleep states, such as an LCD display that's
-refreshed using DMA while most of the system is sleeping lightly ... and
-its frame buffer might even be updated by a DSP or other non-Linux CPU while
-the Linux control processor stays idle.
-
-Moreover, the specific actions taken may depend on the target system state.
-One target system state might allow a given device to be very operational;
-another might require a hard shut down with re-initialization on resume.
-And two different target systems might use the same device in different
-ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active in one product's "standby",
-but a different product using the same SOC might work differently.
-
-
-Power Management Notifiers
---------------------------
-There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management
-callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early.
-To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power
-management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have
-been thawed.  Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing
-actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't
-interfere with user space.
-
-For details refer to Documentation/power/notifiers.txt.
-
-
-Runtime Power Management
-========================
-Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is still
-running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being used, and
-can offer significant power savings on a running system.  These devices
-often support a range of runtime power states, which might use names such
-as "off", "sleep", "idle", "active", and so on.  Those states will in some
-cases (like PCI) be partially constrained by the bus the device uses, and will
-usually include hardware states that are also used in system sleep states.
-
-A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low
-power states due to runtime power management.  The system sleep PM callbacks
-should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the
-necessary actions are subsystem-specific.
-
-In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other
-cases the device driver may be left to decide.  In some cases it may be
-desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power
-transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power
-state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be
-disabled.  This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and
-device driver in question.
-
-During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into
-the full-power state, as explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.  Refer
-to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as well as
-for information on the device runtime power management framework in general.

-Suspend notifiers
-	(C) 2007-2011 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
-
-There are some operations that subsystems or drivers may want to carry out
-before hibernation/suspend or after restore/resume, but they require the system
-to be fully functional, so the drivers' and subsystems' .suspend() and .resume()
-or even .prepare() and .complete() callbacks are not suitable for this purpose.
-For example, device drivers may want to upload firmware to their devices after
-resume/restore, but they cannot do it by calling request_firmware() from their
-.resume() or .complete() routines (user land processes are frozen at these
-points).  The solution may be to load the firmware into memory before processes
-are frozen and upload it from there in the .resume() routine.
-A suspend/hibernation notifier may be used for this purpose.
-
-The subsystems or drivers having such needs can register suspend notifiers that
-will be called upon the following events by the PM core:
-
-PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE	The system is going to hibernate, tasks will be frozen
-			immediately. This is different from PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE
-			below because here we do additional work between notifiers
-			and drivers freezing.
-
-PM_POST_HIBERNATION	The system memory state has been restored from a
-			hibernation image or an error occurred during
-			hibernation.  Device drivers' restore callbacks have
-			been executed and tasks have been thawed.
-
-PM_RESTORE_PREPARE	The system is going to restore a hibernation image.
-			If all goes well, the restored kernel will issue a
-			PM_POST_HIBERNATION notification.
-
-PM_POST_RESTORE		An error occurred during restore from hibernation.
-			Device drivers' restore callbacks have been executed
-			and tasks have been thawed.
-
-PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE	The system is preparing for suspend.
-
-PM_POST_SUSPEND		The system has just resumed or an error occurred during
-			suspend.  Device drivers' resume callbacks have been
-			executed and tasks have been thawed.
-
-It is generally assumed that whatever the notifiers do for
-PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, should be undone for PM_POST_HIBERNATION.  Analogously,
-operations performed for PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE should be reversed for
-PM_POST_SUSPEND.  Additionally, all of the notifiers are called for
-PM_POST_HIBERNATION if one of them fails for PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE, and
-all of the notifiers are called for PM_POST_SUSPEND if one of them fails for
-PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE.
-
-The hibernation and suspend notifiers are called with pm_mutex held.  They are
-defined in the usual way, but their last argument is meaningless (it is always
-NULL).  To register and/or unregister a suspend notifier use the functions
-register_pm_notifier() and unregister_pm_notifier(), respectively, defined in
-include/linux/suspend.h .  If you don't need to unregister the notifier, you can
-also use the pm_notifier() macro defined in include/linux/suspend.h .
