So the idea is to wait? How would I enable autosuspend - by lowering the autosusped_delay_ms? How does the driver decide that it is time to power off/on? Do I need something else enabled to have this done automatically? Autosuspend is 5000 in my case which would mean 5 seconds, so I am quite sure I waited that long and I did not see printk's from the driver. > > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko
