[PATCH 3/3][update] PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for sleep state enumeration

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

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

On some systems the platform doesn't support neither
PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the
only available system sleep state.  However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible.

For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument,
relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change
the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states.
Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze"
labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the
deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always
present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may
not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform.

Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change.

This update is needed after patch [2/3] has been updated.

Thanks!

+The kernel supports up to four system sleep states generically, although three
+of them depend on the platform support code to implement the low-level details
+for each state.
+
+The states are represented by strings that can be read or written to the
+/sys/power/state file.  Those strings may be "mem", "standby", "freeze" and
+"disk", where the last one always represents hibernation (Suspend-To-Disk) and
+the meaning of the remaining ones depends on the relative_sleep_states command
+line argument.
+
+For relative_sleep_states=1, the strings "mem", "standby" and "freeze" label the
+available non-hibernation sleep states from the deepest to the shallowest,
+respectively.  In that case, "mem" is always present in /sys/power/state,
+because there is at least one non-hibernation sleep state in every system.  If
+the given system supports two non-hibernation sleep states, "standby" is present
+in /sys/power/state in addition to "mem".  If the system supports three
+non-hibernation sleep states, "freeze" will be present in /sys/power/state in
+addition to "mem" and "standby".
