The POWER_DOWN_PHY and POWER_UP_PHY sideband message transactions allow the source to reqest any node in a mst path or a whole path to be powered down or up. This allows drivers to target a specific sink in the MST topology, an improvement over just power managing the imediate downstream device. Secondly, since the request-reply protocol waits for an ACK, we can be sure that a downstream sink has enough time to respond to a power up/down request. v2: Fix memory leak (Lyude) Cc: Lyude <lyude@redhat.com> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dhinakaran Pandiyan <dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170907001458.9399-1-dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com Reviewed-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
