However, the statement that acpi_pci_bind()/acpi_pci_unbind() are used to maintain PCI-ACPI binding relationships is quite inaccurate, because all what these functions do is to (1) add/remove ACPI PM notifiers to/from PCI devices and (2) retrieve the _PRT information for bridges from ACPI tables. In fact, the *binding* itself is managed by the code in drivers/acpi/glue.c. Also, please have a look at my suggestion in the last reply to Yinghai: http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=135522965707752&w=2 In fact, I think we can go even further than that. Namely, if we populate the ACPI handle of the device in pci_scan_device(), then we can just move the PM notifier and wakeup setup to platform_pci_wakeup_init(), where it should be (we'll also need to add a corresponding _exit() function, then, but that'll be much cleaner anyway). Then, the remaining thing would be to ensure that _PRT entries are parsed as appropriate somewhere around pci_init_capabilities(). Also, I wonder if you can help test the $subject patchset on a system with hardware PCI hotplug (preferably on top of the linux-pm.git/master branch)? Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.
