[ 32/79] ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during initialization

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7cd8407d53ef5fb0280fcbe34f42311472f90feb upstream.

Commit b378549 (ACPI / PM: Do not power manage devices in unknown
initial states) added code to force devices without _PSC, but having
_PS0 defined in the ACPI namespace, into ACPI power state D0 by
executing _PS0 for them.  That turned out to break Toshiba P870-303,
however, so revert that code.
