It is reported that on certain platforms there are power resources that are not associated with any devices physically present in the platform. Those power resources are expected to be turned off by the OS in accordance with the ACPI specification (section 7.3 of ACPI 6.4) which currently is not done by Linux and that may lead to obscure issues. For instance, leaving those power resources in the "on" state may prevent the platform from reaching the lowest power state in suspend-to-idle which leads to excessive power draw. For this reason, turn all of the unused ACPI power resources off at the end of the initial namespace scan for devices in analogy with resume from suspend-to-RAM.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
