And the driver core in case of devices with multiple interfaces. But I guess, the question is also about how, not where the decision is made. Runtime suspend will be used if 1) every interface's driver has declared a) it supports autosuspend b) its interface is idle 2) every bus connected to an interface [SCSI] has only suspended devices 3) the requirements for remote wakeup are met on every interface. That means, either a) remote wakeup is not requested b) remote wakeup is requested and I) the device supports it II) the RESET_RESUME quirk is not set for the device 4) it is enabled in sysfs HTH Oliver -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
