Merge tag 'pm-for-3.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: - ACPI conversion to PM handling based on struct dev_pm_ops. - Conversion of a number of platform drivers to PM handling based on struct dev_pm_ops and removal of empty legacy PM callbacks from a couple of PCI drivers. - Suspend-to-both for in-kernel hibernation from Bojan Smojver. - cpuidle fixes and cleanups from ShuoX Liu, Daniel Lezcano and Preeti Murthy. - cpufreq bug fixes from Jonghwa Lee and Stephen Boyd. - Suspend and hibernate fixes from Srivatsa Bhat and Colin Cross. - Generic PM domains framework updates. - RTC CMOS wakeup signaling update from Paul Fox. - sparse warnings fixes from Sachin Kamat. - Build warnings fixes for the generic PM domains framework and PM sysfs code. - sysfs switch for printing device suspend times from Sameer Nanda. - Documentation fix from Oskar Schirmer. * tag 'pm-for-3.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (70 commits) cpufreq: Fix sysfs deadlock with concurrent hotplug/frequency switch EXYNOS: bugfix on retrieving old_index from freqs.old PM / Sleep: call early resume handlers when suspend_noirq fails PM / QoS: Use NULL pointer instead of plain integer in qos.c PM / QoS: Use NULL pointer instead of plain integer in pm_qos.h PM / Sleep: Require CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND to use wake_lock/wake_unlock PM / Sleep: Add missing static storage class specifiers in main.c cpuilde / ACPI: remove time from acpi_processor_cx structure cpuidle / ACPI: remove usage from acpi_processor_cx structure cpuidle / ACPI : remove latency_ticks from acpi_processor_cx structure rtc-cmos: report wakeups from interrupt handler PM / Sleep: Fix build warning in sysfs.c for CONFIG_PM_SLEEP unset PM / Domains: Fix build warning for CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME unset olpc-xo15-sci: Use struct dev_pm_ops for power management PM / Domains: Replace plain integer with NULL pointer in domain.c file PM / Domains: Add missing static storage class specifier in domain.c file PM / crypto / ux500: Use struct dev_pm_ops for power management PM / IPMI: Remove empty legacy PCI PM callbacks tpm_nsc: Use struct dev_pm_ops for power management tpm_tis: Use struct dev_pm_ops for power management ...

Device Low Power (suspend) States
---------------------------------
Device low-power states aren't standard. One device might only handle
-"on" and "off, while another might support a dozen different versions of
+"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of
"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on"
faster than from a full "off".
