From 836aedb1414d4724b2ec68dd19810960c593720c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:49:59 +0100 Subject: ACPI / PM: Expose power states of ACPI devices to user space Make it possible to retrieve the current power state of a device with ACPI power management from user space via sysfs by adding two new attributes, power_state and real_power_state, to the sysfs directory associated with the struct acpi_device object representing the device's ACPI node.

For this reason, for each power state of an ACPI device node using power resources create a special attribute group under the device node's directory in sysfs containing links to sysfs directories representing the power resources in that list.
