| 210 | Driver Detach Power Management | ||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | The kernel now supports the ability to place a device in a low-power | ||
| 213 | state when it is detached from its driver, which happens when its | ||
| 214 | module is removed. | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | Each device contains a 'detach_state' file in its sysfs directory | ||
| 217 | which can be used to control this state. Reading from this file | ||
| 218 | displays what the current detach state is set to. This is 0 (On) by | ||
| 219 | default. A user may write a positive integer value to this file in the | ||
| 220 | range of 1-4 inclusive. | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | A value of 1-3 will indicate the device should be placed in that | ||
| 223 | low-power state, which will cause ->suspend() to be called for that | ||
| 224 | device. A value of 4 indicates that the device should be shutdown, so | ||
| 225 | ->shutdown() will be called for that device. | ||
| 226 | |||
| 227 | The driver is responsible for reinitializing the device when the | ||
| 228 | module is re-inserted during it's ->probe() (or equivalent) method. | ||
| 229 | The driver core will not call any extra functions when binding the | ||
| 230 | device to the driver. | ||
