They should be called in the last phase of hibernation, after the image has been created and the system is going for "power off" (hance the callback name). > I tried to go through the code to see what happened.

The ->poweroff() callbacks are only executed if hibernation_mode is equal to HIBERNATION_PLATFORM, which is not the default. > Otherwise shutdown of the busses gets called, which is a completely > different path. > > There are many drivers today, that are registering poweroff() from dev_pm_ops > but are not doing bus specific shutdown stuff. > > Even i tried to look for hibernation_set_ops() in kernel, and only acpi > code is calling it. That's correct too. > I didn't understood how other ARM Sub-Arch's are handling this. Well, they are supposed to call hibernation_set_ops() and set the operations appropriately. Those operations may be empty routines if they don't need to do anything, but they have to be defined.
