Hi linux-pm,
I have some patches that add new fields to these structures but I
don't have a good place to describe those fields as these structs are
mostly undocumented so I thought I'd document them.
Changes since v1:
* Clarified that some parameters are currently only used by the
step-wise governor.
* Clarified that forced_passive operates on ACPI processor cooling
devices.
