From f71495f3f0c5f0801823d1235b271a4a415d3df8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 02:47:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] PM / sleep: Update device PM documentation to cover direct_complete Update the device PM documentation in devices.txt and runtime_pm.txt to reflect the changes in the system suspend and resume handling related to the introduction of the new power.direct_complete flag.
