Making Drivers <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Aware Three areas to focus on: • Wise power management: minimizing power usage of the driver in regular operations • Staying “off” between close() and open() • Staying “off” if the transceiver/PHY indicates no connection • Gating off unused clocks • Switching off unused power • Using lower voltages • System sleep: Preparing the driver to respond to system wide low-power sleep requests • Responding to cpufreq notifications
System Wide Sleep • Create a struct platform_driver in your driver • Register the platform driver • Implement driver specific suspend and resume functions • Use /sys/power/state as a test interface
