+Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to resume all devices from runtime

+necessary if the driver of the device can cope with runtime-suspended devices.
+The driver can indicate that by setting ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` in

+``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks provided by the driver if the device remains in
+runtime suspend at the beginning of the ``suspend_late`` phase of system-wide
+suspend (or in the ``poweroff_late`` phase of hibernation), when runtime PM
+has been disabled for it, under the assumption that its state should not change
+after that point until the system-wide transition is over.  If that happens, the
+driver's system-wide resume callbacks, if present, may still be invoked during
+the subsequent system-wide resume transition and the device's runtime power
+management status may be set to "active" before enabling runtime PM for it,
+so the driver must be prepared to cope with the invocation of its system-wide
+resume callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the
+intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and so on) and the final state of the device
+must reflect the "active" status for runtime PM in that case.

 During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into
 the full-power state, as explained in :file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt`.

+3.1.19. Driver Flags for Power Management
+
+The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of
+power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code
+including the PCI bus type.  The flags should be set once at the driver probe
+time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not
+be updated directly afterwards.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete
+mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped if the device
+is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts.  That also affects all of
+the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if absolutely
+necessary.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag instructs the PCI bus type to only return a
+positive value from pci_pm_prepare() if the ->prepare callback provided by the
+driver of the device returns a positive value.  That allows the driver to opt
+out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag tells the PCI bus type that from the driver's
+perspective the device can be safely left in runtime suspend during system
+suspend.  That causes pci_pm_suspend(), pci_pm_freeze() and pci_pm_poweroff()
+to skip resuming the device from runtime suspend unless there are PCI-specific
+reasons for doing that.  Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq(),
+pci_pm_freeze_late/noirq() and pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early
+if the device remains in runtime suspend in the beginning of 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
+power management status will be changed to "active" (as it is going to be put
+into D0 going forward), but if it is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_thaw_noirq(),
+the function will set the power.direct_complete flag for it (to make the PM core
+skip the subsequent "thaw" callbacks for it) and return.
