@@ -520,59 +520,20 @@ Support for power domains is provided through the pwr_domain field of struct
device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_power_domain,
defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks
analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
-for the given device during all power transitions, in addition to the respective
-subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, the power domain "suspend" callbacks
-(i.e. ->runtime_suspend(), ->suspend(), ->freeze(), ->poweroff(), etc.) are
-executed after the analogous subsystem-level callbacks, while the power domain
-"resume" callbacks (i.e. ->runtime_resume(), ->resume(), ->thaw(), ->restore,
-etc.) are executed before the analogous subsystem-level callbacks. Error codes
-returned by the "suspend" and "resume" power domain callbacks are ignored.
-
-Power domain ->runtime_idle() callback is executed before the subsystem-level
-->runtime_idle() callback and the result returned by it is not ignored. Namely,
-if it returns error code, the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle() callback will not
-be called and the helper function rpm_idle() executing it will return error
-code. This mechanism is intended to help platforms where saving device state
-is a time consuming operation and should only be carried out if all devices
-in the power domain are idle, before turning off the shared power resource(s).
-Namely, the power domain ->runtime_idle() callback may return error code until
-the pm_runtime_idle() helper (or its asychronous version) has been called for
-all devices in the power domain (it is recommended that the returned error code
-be -EBUSY in those cases), preventing the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle()
-callback from being run prematurely.
-
-The support for device power domains is only relevant to platforms needing to
-use the same subsystem-level (e.g. platform bus type) and device driver power
-management callbacks in many different power domain configurations and wanting
-to avoid incorporating the support for power domains into the subsystem-level
-callbacks. The other platforms need not implement it or take it into account
-in any way.

-System Devices
---------------
-System devices (sysdevs) follow a slightly different API, which can be found in
-
- include/linux/sysdev.h
- drivers/base/sys.c
-
-System devices will be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after all other
-devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed before any other
-devices, and also with interrupts disabled. These things occur in special
-"sysdev_driver" phases, which affect only system devices.
-
-Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when
-the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online
-CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a
-sleep state (or a system image is created). During resume (or after the image
-has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs
-are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the
-resume_noirq (or thaw_noirq or restore_noirq) phase begins.
-
-Code to actually enter and exit the system-wide low power state sometimes
-involves hardware details that are only known to the boot firmware, and
-may leave a CPU running software (from SRAM or flash memory) that monitors
-the system and manages its wakeup sequence.

+not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be
+executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and
+anlogously for all of the remaining callbacks. In other words, power management
