+Date: March 2012
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../power/pm_qos_resume_latency_us attribute
+ contains the PM QoS resume latency limit for the given device,
+ which is the maximum allowed time it can take to resume the
+ device, after it has been suspended at run time, from a resume
+ request to the moment the device will be ready to process I/O,
+ in microseconds. If it is equal to 0, however, this means that
+ the PM QoS resume latency may be arbitrary.
+
+ Not all drivers support this attribute. If it isn't supported,
+ it is not present.
+
+ This attribute has no effect on system-wide suspend/resume and
+ hibernation.

+* Samsung Exynos Power Domains
+
+Exynos processors include support for multiple power domains which are used
+to gate power to one or more peripherals on the processor.
+
+Required Properties:
+- compatiable: should be one of the following.
+ * samsung,exynos4210-pd - for exynos4210 type power domain.
+- reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+ region.
+
+Optional Properties:
+- samsung,exynos4210-pd-off: Specifies that the power domain is in turned-off
+ state during boot and remains to be turned-off until explicitly turned-on.

+Example:
+
+ lcd0: power-domain-lcd0 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-pd";
+ reg = <0x10023C00 0x10>;
