---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
What: /sys/devices/.../power/state
|
||||
dev->power.power_state
|
||||
dpm_runtime_{suspend,resume)()
|
||||
When: July 2007
|
||||
Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing
|
||||
driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support
|
||||
system-wide sleep state transitions; event codes that distinguish
|
||||
different phases of swsusp "sleep" transitions; and userspace policy
|
||||
inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to
|
||||
use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific
|
||||
interfaces either to kernel or to userspace.

||||
Who: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>

|

---------------------------
|

|
||||
What: RAW driver (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER)
|
||||
When: December 2005
|
||||
Why: declared obsolete since kernel 2.6.3
