Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq() and +pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early if the device remains in runtime +suspend during the "late" phase of the system-wide transition under way. +Moreover, if the device is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_resume_noirq() or +pci_pm_restore_noirq(), its runtime PM status will be changed to "active" (as it +is going to be put into D0 going forward). + +Setting the DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flag means that the driver allows its +"noirq" and "early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the device can be left +in suspend after a system-wide transition into the working state. This flag is +taken into consideration by the PM core along with the power.may_skip_resume +status bit of the device which is set by pci_pm_suspend_noirq() in certain +situations. If the PM core determines that the driver's "noirq" and "early" +resume callbacks should be skipped, the dev_pm_skip_resume() helper function +will return "true" and that will cause pci_pm_resume_noirq() and +pci_pm_resume_early() to return upfront without touching the device and +executing the driver callbacks. 3.2.
