It's not necessarily possible to map from an ACPI object with a wakeup capability to a Linux device, so there's going to have to be some degree of interface nastiness. However, some devices can be sensibly mapped, and ideally those should be integrated into /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup. However, I'm not entirely sure /how/ that integration should happen. If both the Linux driver and ACPI know how to enable wakeup for a device, what should writing to power/wakeup do? > > So /proc/acpi/wakeup is deprecated by > > /sys/devices/acpi_system/.../xxx/sleep_state && wakeup. > > Why is ACPI still not coupling such information to the REAL device > nodes?

Investigating the DSDT suggests that this is just a wrapper around a bunch of platform devices, including the ISA bridge. In this case, what real device should we be associating it with? -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
