ACPI / PM: Expose power states of ACPI devices to user space
Make it possible to retrieve the current power state of a device with ACPI power management from user space via sysfs by adding two new attributes, power_state and real_power_state, to the sysfs directory associated with the struct acpi_device object representing the device's ACPI node.

What: /sys/devices/.../power_state

Description:
|
||||
The /sys/devices/.../power_state attribute is only present for
|
||||
device objects representing ACPI device nodes that provide power
|
||||
management methods.
|
||||
|
||||
If present, it contains a string representing the current ACPI
|
||||
power state of the given device node. Its possible values,
|
||||
"D0", "D1", "D2", "D3hot", and "D3cold", reflect the power state
|
||||
names defined by the ACPI specification (ACPI 4 and above).
|
||||
|
||||
If the device node uses shared ACPI power resources, this state
|
||||
determines a list of power resources required not to be turned
|
||||
off. However, some power resources needed by the device node in
|
||||
higher-power (lower-number) states may also be ON because of
|
||||
some other devices using them at the moment.
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute is read-only.
