The code using them depends on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP and they are nobody else's business. :-) I could avoid using the #ifdef here, but I thought I'd make it clear that these things were only available when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP was set. > Other than that, this looks great to me, thanks for doing this. No problem. :-) > Do you want me to take it through my tree, or yours? I can handle it if you give me an ack. Do you think I should push [1/2] alone for 2.6.39 or wait for the patches converting subsystems to use this stuff to be ready? I think it'll take some time to prepare them, especialy for things in the ARM tree that use sysdevs in some interesting ways ...
