Subject: A minimally power-aware driver treats all messages as SUSPEND?

Hello,

include/linux/pm.h claims:

	A minimally power-aware driver treats all messages as SUSPEND
	[...].

This was introduced in commit 82bb67f2 by David Brownell.  At this time
PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE didn't exist.  This was added in 3a2d5b70 by Rafael
J. Wysocki without updating the above sentence.  I think a minimally
power-aware driver should treat all messages as HIBERNATE, shouldn't it?

Best regards
Uwe
