As recently reported, some platforms provide a list of power
resources for device power state D3hot, through the _PR3 object,
but they do not provide a list of power resources for device power
state D0.
Among other things, this causes acpi_device_get_power() to return
D3hot as the current state of the device in question if all of the
D3hot power resources are "on", because it sees the power_resources
flag set and calls acpi_power_get_inferred_state() which finds that
D3hot is the shallowest power state with all of the associated power
resources turned "on", so that's what it returns. Moreover, that
value takes precedence over the acpi_dev_pm_explicit_get() return
value, because it means a deeper power state. The device may very
well be in D0 physically at that point, however.
Moreover, the presence of _PR3 without _PR0 for a given device
means that only one D3-level power state can be supported by it.
Namely, because there are no power resources to turn "off" when
transitioning the device from D0 into D3cold (which should be
supported since _PR3 is present), the evaluation of _PS3 should
be sufficient to put it straight into D3cold, but this means that
the effect of turning "on" the _PR3 power resources is unclear,
so it is better to avoid doing that altogether. Consequently,
there is no practical way do distinguish D3cold from D3hot for
the device in question and the power states of it can be labeled
so that D3hot is the deepest supported one (and Linux assumes
that putting a device into D3hot via ACPI may cause power to be
removed from it anyway, for legacy reasons).
To work around the problem described above modify the ACPI
enumeration of devices so that power resources are only used
for device power management if the list of D0 power resources
is not empty and make it mart D3cold as supported only if that
is the case and the D3hot list of power resources is not empty
too.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
