This patch is only concerned with DT, so that's what I'm commenting on here. I don't know how to untangle the question of ACPI systems. This patch affects platform_pci_bridge_d3(), so just based on the "platform" in the function name, I would expect it to be concerned with the D3cold case and whether the platform supports controlling main power. It looks like this patch says "we can put devices in D3cold if DT has 'supports-d3'". But I don't know how to make sense of that because that requires (a) platform hardware to control main power and (b) software that knows how to use that hardware. Wouldn't this require a little more DT description, like "regulator X controls main power for this bridge"? And then an OS would only be able to actually use D3cold if it knows how to *operate* the regulator, and it doesn't seem like DT could answer that. > > If we add annotations that "this device works correctly", we're > > digging a hole for ourselves because it's impossible to remove those > > annotations and they complicate all future maintenance. > > > > Bjorn > > -- > மணிவண்ணன் சதாசிவம்
