Re: [PATCH 0/2] power: Refactor device level sysfs.

Hi Greg,

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11045069/ seems to create a virtual
device under wakeup class with the same name as the actual device. I
don't see a way to reliably map these virtual devices to the actual
device sysfs node. For example if we have to know if a particular
input device has triggered a wake event, we have to look for a virtual
device under /sys/class/wakeup with the same name. I am afraid that
depending just on the name might be too risky as there can be multiple
devices under different buses with the same name. Am I missing
something?

Thanks,
Ravi
