Add a sysfs attribute to allow informing the kernel about the current
standby state, those being: "active", "screen_off", "sleep", and
"resume" (to prepare turning the display on). The final modern
standby state DRIPS is omitted, as that is entered during the kernel
suspend process and userspace will never see it.

+Description:
+ The /sys/power/standby file controls the standby state of the
+ system. Modern S0ix capable systems can enter a set of low power
+ states while the kernel is still active. Transitioning into those
+ states may 1) deactivate tertiary hardware, and 2) change the
+ presentation of the device (e.g., pulse the suspend light, turn
+ off the keyboard backlight).
+
+ Available states are "active" (fully active), "screen-off" (fully
+ active but all displays of the system are off; virtual and real),
+ "sleep" (major userspace components have been frozen; light
+ background tasks may still run; this state may affect the power
+ envelope of the device). The final state is DRIPS or LSP0, where
+ the kernel suspends, and is entered by writing "mem" to
+ /sys/power/state. There is a secondary sleep state called "resume"
+ that can only be entered from "sleep" and is used in certain
+ devices to boost the Power Limit (PLx) while remaining in sleep
+ to hasten preparing for transitioning to "active".
+
+ Writing one of the above strings to this file causes the system
+ to transition into the corresponding state, by firing the
+ corresponding firmware notifications during the transition.
+
+ DRIPS or LSP0 (i.e., mem "s2idle") can only be entered from the
+ "sleep" state. If the kernel is asked to transition to DRIPS from
+ a different state, it will transition to "sleep" and then suspend.
+ On wakeup, the kernel will transition back to the previous state.
+
+ See Documentation/admin-guide/pm/standby-states.rst for more
+ information.
