[PATCH] Enable C3 even when PM2 control block is not present

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




On systems that do not have pm2_control_block, we cannot really use
ARB_DISABLE before C3. We used to disable C3 totally on such systems.

To be compatible with Windows, we need to enable C3 on such systems now.
We just skip ARB_DISABLE step before entering the C3-state and assume
hardware is handling things correctly. Also, ACPI spec is not clear
about pm2_control is _needed_ for C3 or not.

We have atleast one system that need this to enable C3.
