Once an NFC target (i.e., a tag) is found, it remains active until there is a failure reading or writing it (often caused by the target moving out of range). While the target is active, the NFC adapter and antenna must remain powered. This wastes power when the target remains in range but the client application no longer cares whether it is there or not. To mitigate this, add a new netlink command that allows userspace to deactivate an active target. When issued, this command will cause the NFC subsystem to act as though the target was moved out of range. Once the command has been executed, the client application can power off the NFC adapter to reduce power consumption.

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.
