- * In general, drivers for all devices should call "pm_access"
- * before accessing the hardware (ie. before reading or modifying
- * a hardware register).  Request or packet-driven drivers should
- * additionally call "pm_dev_idle" when a device is not being used.
- *
- * Examples:
- * 1) A keyboard driver would call pm_access whenever a key is pressed
- * 2) A network driver would call pm_access before submitting
- *    a packet for transmit or receive and pm_dev_idle when its
- *    transfer and receive queues are empty.
- * 3) A VGA driver would call pm_access before it accesses any
- *    of the video controller registers
- *
- * Ultimately, the PM policy manager uses the access and idle
- * information to decide when to suspend individual devices
- * or when to suspend the entire system
