On some platforms a device and its corresponding PM domain, may need to remain powered-on during system wide suspend, to support various use cases. For example, when the console_suspend_enabled flag is unset for a serial controller, the corresponding device may need to remain powered on. Other use cases exists too. In fact, we already have the mechanism in the PM core to deal with these kind of use cases. However, the current naming of the corresponding functions/flags clearly suggests these should be use for system wakeup. See device_wakeup_path(), device_set_wakeup_path and dev->power.wakeup_path. As a way to extend the use of the existing mechanism, let's introduce two new helpers functions, device_awake_path() and device_set_awake_path(). At this point, let them act as wrappers of the existing functions. Ideally, when all users have been converted to use the new helpers, we may decide to drop the old ones and rename the flag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
