Driver Flags for Power Management + +The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of +power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code +including the PCI bus type. The flags should be set once at the driver probe +time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not +be updated directly afterwards. + +The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete +mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped if the device +is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts. That also affects all of +the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if absolutely +necessary. + +The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag instructs the PCI bus type to only return a +positive value from pci_pm_prepare() if the ->prepare callback provided by the +driver of the device returns a positive value. That allows the driver to opt +out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically. + 3.2.
