Ok, the D states are mentioned already. But how to use it is not, nor there's a reference to the ReST file. I think that wouldn't hurt. > > I was thinking about adding an explanation comment to the caller. I think it'd be best if the function name would convey that without a comment that should then be added to all callers. How about calling the function e.g. acpi_dev_state_d0() and negating the return value? The D0 state is well defined and we could do this without adding new terms. -- Sakari Ailus
