From david-b@pacbell.net Wed Aug 30 14:19:47 2006 From: David Brownell To: Greg KH Subject: PM: update docs for writing .../power/state Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 14:12:48 -0700 Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200608301412.49442.david-b@pacbell.net> Updates to match current code: - Make writes to the /sys/devices/.../power/state files fail cleanly if the device requires the irqs-off call variants. - Fix comments describing the /sys/devices/.../power/state file writes to match the code; the last several releases have invalidated the previous text.
