Rafael J. Wysocki 18a387099b ACPI / PM: Expose lists of device power resources to user space
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".

What: /sys/devices/.../power_resources_D3hot/
Date: January 2013
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../power_resources_D3hot/ directory is only
present for device objects representing ACPI device nodes that
use ACPI power resources for power management and support ACPI
power state D3hot.
If present, it contains symbolic links to device directories
representing ACPI power resources that need to be turned on for
the given device node to be in ACPI power state D3hot. The
names of the links are the same as the names of the directories
they point to.
