SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +Probing I²C devices in low power state +====================================== + +Introduction +============ + +In some cases it may be preferred to leave certain devices powered off for the +entire system bootup if powering on these devices has adverse side effects, +beyond just powering on the said device. + +How it works +============ + +The _PRE object that evaluates to integer 0 may be used to tell Linux that the +device should remain in the low power state during probe. If the driver +indicates its support for this by setting the I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE +flag in struct i2c_driver.flags field and the _PRE object evaluates to integer +0, the device will not be powered on for probe. + +The downside is that as the device is not powered on, even if there's a problem +with the device, the driver likely probes just fine but the first user will +find out the device doesn't work, instead of a failure at probe time. This +feature should thus be used sparingly. + +Example +======= + +An ASL example describing an ACPI device using this property looks like +this.
