4*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription:
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun		The /sys/devices/.../real_power_state attribute is only present
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun		for device objects representing ACPI device nodes that provide
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun		power management methods and use ACPI power resources for power
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun		management.
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun		If present, it contains a string representing the real ACPI
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun		power state of the given device node as returned by the _PSC
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun		control method or inferred from the configuration of power
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun		resources.  Its possible values, "D0", "D1", "D2", "D3hot", and
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun		"D3cold", reflect the power state names defined by the ACPI
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun		specification (ACPI 4 and above).
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun		In some situations the value of this attribute may be different
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun		from the value of the /sys/devices/.../power_state attribute for
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun		the same device object.  If that happens, some shared power
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun		resources used by the device node are only ON because of some
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun		other devices using them at the moment.
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun		This attribute is read-only.
