NAME
       pm_send -  send request to a single device


SYNOPSIS
       int pm_send (struct pm_dev *dev, pm_request_t rqst, void *data);


ARGUMENTS
       dev          device to send to

       rqst         power management request

       data         data for the callback


DESCRIPTION
       Issue  a power management request to a given device. The PM_SUSPEND and
       PM_RESUME events are handled specially. The data field  must  hold  the
       intended next state. No call is made if the state matches.


BUGS
        what  stops  two  power  management  requests occuring in parallel and
       conflicting.


WARNING
        Calling pm_send directly is not generally  recommended,  in  paticular
       there  is  no  locking  against  the pm_dev going away. The caller must
       maintain all needed locking or have ’inside knowledge’ on  the  safety.
       Also  remember  that this function is not locked against pm_unregister.
       This means that you must handle SMP races  on  callback  execution  and
       unload yourself.
