SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================== +Link Power Managent Policy +========================== + +This parameter allows the user to set the link (interface) power management. +There are 3 possible options: + +===================== ===================================================== +Value Effect +===================== ===================================================== +min_power Tell the controller to try to make the link use the + least possible power when possible.
