Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware

This information is used by subsystems, like the PCI bus type code, to see
171
179
whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup mechanisms. If device wakeup
172
180
mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by drivers, they also should use
173
181
device_may_wakeup() to decide what to do during a system sleep transition.

175

184

185
+ It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote
186
+ wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the
187
+ same physical mechanism. Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in
188
+ low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which
189
+ they should be put into the full-power state. Those interrupts may or may not
190
+ be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On
191
+ some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states. In any
192
+ case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for
193
+ all devices and drivers that support it.
