2013-01-25ACPI / PM: Expose lists of device power resources to user spaceRafael J. Wysocki
Since ACPI power resources are going to be used more extensively on new hardware platforms, it is necessary to allow user space (powertop in particular) to look at the lists of power resources corresponding to different power states of devices for diagnostics and control purposes. 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. The names of the new attribute groups are "power_resources_<state>", where <state> is the state name i.e. "D0", "D1", "D2", or "D3hot". Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
