[PATCH 2/2] PM / Runtime: use deferrable timer for autosuspend

Show all headers | View raw

The timeouts used in PM autosuspend are relatively coarse (the shortest
I could find in a quick search through the kernel is 50ms). As they are
already handled relaxed by saving the overhead of always rearming the
timer by opportunistically suspending a device a bit early, it should
not matter if the the timeout is missed slightly.

By using a deferrable timer the CPU will not be woken just to handle
the autosuspend timeout, but handling will be batched with other
wakeups in the system.
