Subject: [PATCH] PM / Wakeup: Fix initialization of wakeup-related device sysfs files

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

It turns out that some PCI devices are only found to be
wakeup-capable during registration, in which case, when
device_set_wakeup_capable() is called, device_is_registered() already
returns 'true' for the given device, but dpm_sysfs_add() hasn't been
called for it yet.  This leads to situations in which the device's
power.can_wakeup flag is not set as requested because of failing
wakeup_sysfs_add() and its wakeup-related sysfs files are not
created, although they should be present.  This is a post-2.6.38
regression introduced by commit cb8f51bdadb7969139c2e39c2defd4cde98c1
(PM: Do not create wakeup sysfs files for devices that cannot wake
up).

To work around this problem initialize the device's power.entry
field to an empty list head and make device_set_wakeup_capable()
check if it is still empty before attempting to add the devices
wakeup-related sysfs files with wakeup_sysfs_add().  Namely, if
power.entry is still empty at this point, device_pm_add() hasn't been
called yet for the device and its wakeup-related files will be
created later, so device_set_wakeup_capable() doesn't have to create
them.
