If a device has _PR3._ON, it means the device supports D3_HOT.
If a device has _PR3._OFF, it means the device supports D3_COLD.
Add the ability to validate and enter D3_COLD state in ACPI.

This is supposed to be ACPI 5.0 support, right?
No, D3_HOT is introduced in ACPI spec 4.0.
According to the spec, _PR3 is used for devices that support both
D3(D3_COLD) and D3HOT.
Yes, it does.
quoted
The confusion here is that Linux D3 equals ACPICA D3HOT and Linux
D3_COLD equals ACPICA D3.
For example, when enter Linux ACPI D3, the reference count of ACPI Power
Resources in _PR3 is increased by one.
That's correct.

So can anyone please tell me what part of the ACPI 5.0 spec is the
basis of this patch, because I can't see that immediately?

The only places where D3Cold is _mentioned_ are Section 7.2.12 (_PRE, which
appears to be new in 5.0), Section 7.2.20 (_S0W), Section 7.2.21 (_S1W),
Section 7.2.22 (_S2W), Section 7.2.23 (_S3W) and Section 7.2.24 (_S4W).
None of them mentions those _PR3._ON and _PR3._OFF things above.

Moreover, my understanding of the spec is that D3Cold means all of the
power resources returned by _PR3 are "off" (whereas some of them will be
"on" in D3hot).
Agreed.

Sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me.  Power resources always have
the _OFF method, right?
I'm not sure.
That would be explicitly against the spec that says that power resources
are *required* to have _ON, _OFF and _STA.
quoted
I thought I had seen ACPI Power Resources without _OFF
control method somewhere in bugzilla, but I can not find it out now.
That, clearly, is a firmware bug.
Okay, agreed.
so how about this? _PR3 equals D3_HOT support.
quoted
Hmm, how about set D3_COLD support if _PR3 exists, but leave a warning
message if _OFF doesn't exist, for now?
I don't think we need to set D3_COLD support at all.  In fact, it is always
supported (as I said, if all power resources used by a device are off, the
device is in D3_COLD pretty much by definition).
Yeah, but it seems that Linux uses ACPI_D3 for both ACPICA D3_HOT and D3
(off). I'm generating a patch to remove ACPI_D3_COLD and introduce
D3_HOT support in Linux kernel.

thanks,
rui
