Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> +Description: + (RO) Displays the ACPI device status - enabled, disabled or + functioning or present, if the method _STA is present. + + Return value is an integer containing a device status bitmap: + + Bit [0] – Set if the device is present. + Bit [1] – Set if the device is enabled and decoding its + resources. + Bit [2] – Set if the device should be shown in the UI. + Bit [3] – Set if the device is functioning properly (cleared if + device failed its diagnostics). + Bit [4] – Set if the battery is present. + Bits [31:5] – Reserved (must be cleared) + + If bit [0] is cleared, then bit 1 must also be cleared (a device + that is not present cannot be enabled). + + Bit 0 can be clear (not present) with bit [3] set (device is + functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for + which no device driver should be loaded. + + More special cases are covered in the ACPI specification. + +What: /sys/bus/acpi/devices/.../hrv +Date: Apr, 2016 +Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> +Description: + (RO) Allows users to read the hardware version of non-PCI + hardware, if the _HRV control method is present. It is most + useful for non-PCI devices because lspci can list the hardware + version for PCI devices. -- 2.16.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
