Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their
|
||||
runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see

Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for more information). If an IRQ-safe
|

device belongs to a PM domain, the runtime PM of the domain will be
|

disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it
|
||||
makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it
|
||||
are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime
|
||||
PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the

additional restriction that all child domains of an IRQ-safe parent must also

be IRQ-safe.
