+Device Power Domains
+--------------------
+Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources.  In those
+cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states
+individually.  Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put
+into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared
+power resource.  Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state
+together, by turning the shared power resource on.  A set of devices with this
+property is often referred to as a power domain.
+
+Support for power domains is provided through the pwr_domain field of struct
+device.  This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_power_domain,
+defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks
+analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
+for the given device during all power transitions, in addition to the respective
+subsystem-level callbacks.  Specifically, the power domain "suspend" callbacks
+(i.e. ->runtime_suspend(), ->suspend(), ->freeze(), ->poweroff(), etc.) are
+executed after the analogous subsystem-level callbacks, while the power domain
+"resume" callbacks (i.e. ->runtime_resume(), ->resume(), ->thaw(), ->restore,
+etc.) are executed before the analogous subsystem-level callbacks.  Error codes
+returned by the "suspend" and "resume" power domain callbacks are ignored.
+
+Power domain ->runtime_idle() callback is executed before the subsystem-level
+->runtime_idle() callback and the result returned by it is not ignored.  Namely,
+if it returns error code, the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle() callback will not
+be called and the helper function rpm_idle() executing it will return error
+code.  This mechanism is intended to help platforms where saving device state
+is a time consuming operation and should only be carried out if all devices
+in the power domain are idle, before turning off the shared power resource(s).
+Namely, the power domain ->runtime_idle() callback may return error code until
+the pm_runtime_idle() helper (or its asychronous version) has been called for
+all devices in the power domain (it is recommended that the returned error code
+be -EBUSY in those cases), preventing the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle()
+callback from being run prematurely.
+
+The support for device power domains is only relevant to platforms needing to
+use the same subsystem-level (e.g. platform bus type) and device driver power
+management callbacks in many different power domain configurations and wanting
+to avoid incorporating the support for power domains into the subsystem-level
+callbacks.  The other platforms need not implement it or take it into account
+in any way.
