Input layer is not implementing any PM since it consists of virtual, not physical devices, and leaves PM for the appropriate bus drivers (USB, serio, platform, etc.). Also, it is not really runtime PM but rather user-initiated action of putting device into lower poer state we are talking about here. -- Dmitry _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
