10 | cpuidle driver hooks into the cpuidle infrastructure and handles the | |
11 | architecture/platform dependent part of CPU idle states. Driver | |
12 | provides the platform idle state detection capability and also | |
13 | has mechanisms in place to support actual entry-exit into CPU idle states. | |
14 | ||
15 | cpuidle driver initializes the cpuidle_device structure for each CPU device | |
16 | and registers with cpuidle using cpuidle_register_device. | |
17 | ||
18 | It can also support the dynamic changes (like battery <-> AC), by using | |
19 | cpuidle_pause_and_lock, cpuidle_disable_device and cpuidle_enable_device, | |
20 | cpuidle_resume_and_unlock. | |
