Holding a suspend blocker is entirely orthogonal to runtime pm. The "whole kernel" will not be "active" - it can continue to hit the same low power state in the idle loop, and any runtime pm implementation in the drivers will continue to be active. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
