[PATCH RFC v4 1/3] Documentation: devicetree: psci: define CPU suspend parameter

From: Lorenzo Pieralisi <hidden>
Date: 2014-02-18 11:47:29
Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-pm
Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

OS layers built on top of PSCI to enter low-power states require the
power_state parameter to be passed to the PSCI CPU suspend method.

This parameter is specific to a power state and platform specific,
therefore must be provided by firmware to the OS in order to enable
proper call sequence.

This patch adds a property in the PSCI bindings that describes how
the CPU suspend power_state parameter should be defined in DT in
all device nodes that rely on PSCI CPU suspend method usage.
