[PATCH ver. 2] PM: describe kernel policy regarding wakeup defaults

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch (as1381b) updates a comment describing the kernel's policy
toward enabling wakeup by default.

It also makes device_set_wakeup_capable() actually do something when
CONFIG_PM isn't enabled.  It's not clear this is necessary; however if
it isn't then device_init_wakeup() and device_can_wakeup() should also
be do-nothing routines.  Furthermore, I don't expect this change to
have any noticeable effect -- but if it does then clearly the old
behavior was wrong.

Rafael, I don't know if you got the earlier version of this patch.  
This one applies against 2.6.35-rc1.
