Unless you're coding for an ACPIPNP device, you don't need to care about ACPI at all in your driver. The code in 2.6.35 and higher will handle that for you. > The another thing is suppose BIOS is ACPI based, ok as you told that bus > will handle > all the things do you mean ACPI driver will notify the bus about various > device states? The core ACPI code will inform the PCI code (for instance) that a wakeup event has been generated, or the PCI code (for instance) will call the appropraite ACPI functions while putting the device in a low power state. > If yes then what the standard interface between bus driver and device > driver?
