RE: PATCH/RFC: driver model/pmcore wakeup hooks (1/4)

[Li, Shaohua]

A final solution is device core adds an ACPI layer. That is we can link
ACPI device and physical device. This way, the PCI device can know which
ACPI is linked with it, so the PCI API can use specific ACPI method. 
You are right, we currently haven't a method to reach the goal. To match
a physical device and ACPI device, we need to know the ACPI device's
_ADR and bus.
I have a toy to link the PCI device and ACPI device, and some PCI
function can use _SxD method and _PSx method to get some information for
suspend/resume.

Thanks,
Shaohua

The only caveat is that PCI core should not depend on ACPI because it is not
available on all platforms, not all world is x86.

The driver model core has platform_notify hooks for device add/remove,
and ACPI should kick in that way ... they might well need tweaks though.

RIght!  Maybe something like:

	int pci_enable_wake(pci_dev, on_or_off) {
		...
		if (dev->platform_data)
			platform_enable_wake(dev, on_or_off)
		...
	}

That'd call an acpi_enable_wake().  I guess OpenBoot would
do its thing, and embedded boards could do all kinds of stuff.

The platform_notify information isn't enough to find an ACPI device for
a physical device. To find an ACPI device, the bus information and
device information is needed. Only the specific bus knows the meaning of
an device's id, so I think the bus type should provide a callback to
interpret device id.

Does anoyone give me a link to the original RFC?
I cannot find the original mail as a newbie associated with this list.
