I guess this is what happens when people don't read the code before they decide to implement something. All the reboot/power off/halt methods already call into the driver model, and the driver model then iterates over all bound drivers calling their "shutdown" method. So, today, as it has been for years, all device drivers are notified of system power off. That's where most device drivers should be cleanly stopping their hardware. The only thing which is left is the actual hardware triggering of the action, and that should be what's done via the notifier. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
