    ACPI / PM: Expose lists of device power resources to user space · 18a38709
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    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".
