2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions
----------------------------------
There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in
-Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst. Each of them requires devices to be handled
-in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management
-callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase
-involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging
-to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run
-after tasks have been frozen.

activity can be resumed.
-As described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, the hibernation image is loaded
-into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in
-turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel

At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management
callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a
-dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, and the
-"legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and
+dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, and
+the "legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and
.resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used. The legacy approach,
however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is
not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this
