All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling of various power management activities. However, it's not always useful. There are few instances where pseudo devices are added to the model just to take advantage of many other features like kobjects, udev events, and so on. One such example is cpu devices and their caches. The sysfs for the cpu caches are managed by adding devices with cpu as the parent in cpu_device_create() when secondary cpu is brought online. Generally when the secondary CPUs are hotplugged back in as part of resume from suspend-to-ram, we call cpu_device_create() from the cpu hotplug state machine while the cpu device associated with that CPU is not yet ready to be resumed as the device_resume() call happens bit later. It's not really needed to set the flag is_prepared for cpu devices as they are mostly pseudo device and hotplug framework deals with state machine and not managed through the cpu device. This often results in annoying warning when resuming: Enabling non-boot CPUs ... CPU1: Booted secondary processor cache: parent cpu1 should not be sleeping CPU1 is up CPU2: Booted secondary processor cache: parent cpu2 should not be sleeping CPU2 is up .... and so on. So in order to fix these kind of errors, we could just completely avoid doing any power management related initialisations and operations if they are not used by these devices. Add no_pm flags to indicate that the device doesn't require any sort of PM activities and all of them can be completely skipped. We can use the same flag to also avoid adding not used *power* sysfs entries for these devices. For now, lets use this for cpu cache devices.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
