From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> To avoid situations in which the actual states of certain ACPI power resources are not known just because they have never been referenced by any device configuration objects, check the initial states of all power resources as soon as they are found in the ACPI namespace (and fall back to turning them on if the state check fails). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> --- Andreas, please test this patch (on top of the [1/2]) and let me know if it works for you.
