In certain use cases (where the chip is part of a camera module, and the
camera module is wired together with a camera privacy LED), powering on
the device during probe is undesirable. Add support for the at24 to
execute probe while being powered off. For this to happen, a hint in form
of a device property is required from the firmware.

So we're describing a situation where "device may be powered off" by
calling it "low_power". This doesn't make sense. Why not something
like: acpi_dev_may_be_off(), acpi_dev_powerdown_possible(),
acpi_dev_possibly_off(). If I'm reading a driver's code an see
"acpi_dev_state_low_power()", I would have never guessed it refers to
a situation where the device may be potentially powered-down.

Yes, this is much better than low_power.
