In more detail: they generally have some clocks that could be disabled, but for various reasons they need to be left running. Disabling those clocks prevents wakeup from working ... yes, a multi-MHz clock just to detect the D+ (or D-) pullup as it kicks in. Systems using an external PHY will sometimes offer an alternative, when the PHY can issue those wakeup IRQs by itself, but that seems oddly uncommon. - Dave _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
