Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ACPI: scan: Turn off unused power resources during initialization

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

It is reported that on certain platforms there are power resources
that are not associated with any devices physically present in the
platform.  Those power resources are expected to be turned off by
the OS in accordance with the ACPI specification (section 7.3 of
ACPI 6.4) which currently is not done by Linux and that may lead
to obscure issues.

For instance, leaving those power resources in the "on" state may
prevent the platform from reaching the lowest power state in
suspend-to-idle which leads to excessive power draw.

For this reason, turn all of the unused ACPI power resources off
at the end of the initial namespace scan for devices in analogy with
resume from suspend-to-RAM.

-> v2: Expand the changelog somewhat and make it build with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
       unset.
