net-next is closed now and this is an optimization so please post as
RFC until net-next is open again (see the note at the end of the email).

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but is there a reason you're not
integrating this functionality with the power management subsystem?
I don't think it'd change the functionality, but it'd feel more
idiomatic to fit in the standard Linux framework.

# Form letter - net-next is closed

We have already sent the networking pull request for 5.12 and therefore
net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and
optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after 5.12-rc1 is cut.

Look out for the announcement on the mailing list or check:
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
