    [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixes · 994aad25
    Volker Braun 提交于
    Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
    too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
    lifetime.  The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines.  They
    are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID.  This fixes
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022
    
    The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
    of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist.  This should facilitate
    future hardware-dependent workarounds.  The workaround for the Samsung P35
    that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.
    
    The behavior can be overridden with module options:
    
    i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
        enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
        testing new notebook models),
    
    ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
        Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.
