<title>ACPI / PM: Avoid infinite recurrence while registering power resources</title>

There is at least one BIOS with a DSDT containing a power resource
object with a _PR0 entry pointing back to that power resource.  In
consequence, while registering that power resource
acpi_bus_get_power_flags() sees that it depends on itself and tries
to register it again, which leads to an infinitely deep recurrence.
This problem was introduced by commit bf325f9538d8c89312be305b9779e
(ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are
needed).

To fix this problem use the observation that power resources cannot
be power manageable and prevent acpi_bus_get_power_flags() from
being called for power resource objects.

<title>ACPI: Remove the wakeup.run_wake_count device field</title>

<content type='text'>
The wakeup.run_wake_count ACPI device field is only used by the PCI
runtime PM code to "protect" devices from being prepared for
generating wakeup signals more than once in a row.  However, it
really doesn't provide any protection, because (1) all of the
functions it is supposed to protect use their own reference counters
effectively ensuring that the device will be set up for generating
wakeup signals just once and (2) the PCI runtime PM code uses
wakeup.run_wake_count in a racy way, since nothing prevents
acpi_dev_run_wake() from being called concurrently from two different
threads for the same device.

Remove the wakeup.run_wake_count ACPI device field which is
unnecessary, confusing and used in a wrong way.

<title>ACPI: Drop device flag wake_capable</title>

The wake_capable ACPI device flag is not necessary, because it is
only used in scan.c for recording the information that _PRW is
present for the given device.  That information is only used by
acpi_add_single_object() to decide whether or not to call
acpi_bus_get_wakeup_device_flags(), so the flag may be dropped
if the _PRW check is moved to acpi_bus_get_wakeup_device_flags().
Moreover, acpi_bus_get_wakeup_device_flags() always returns 0,
so it really should be void.

Before evaluating _PRW for devices that are reported as inactive or
not present by their _STA control methods we should check if those
methods are actually present (otherwise the evaulation of _PRW will
obviously fail and a scary message will be printed unnecessarily).

Depending on the organization of the ACPI namespace, power resource
device objects may generally be scanned after the "regular" device
objects that they are referred from through _PRn.  This, in turn, may
cause acpi_bus_get_power_flags() to attempt to access them through
acpi_bus_init_power() before they are registered (and initialized by
acpi_power_driver).  [This is not a theoretical issue, it actually
happens for one PnP device on my testbed HP nx6325.]

To fix this problem, make acpi_bus_get_power_flags() attempt to
register power resource devices as soon as they have been found in
the _PRn output for any other devices.

The ACPI device driver used for handling power resources,
acpi_power_driver, creates a struct acpi_power_resource object for
each ACPI device representing a power resource.  These objects are
then used when setting and reading the power states of devices using
the corresponding power resources.  Unfortunately, acpi_power_driver
is registered after acpi_scan_init() that may add devices using the
power resources before acpi_power_driver has a chance to create
struct acpi_power_resource objects for them (specifically, the power
resources may be referred to during the scanning process through
acpi_bus_get_power() before they have been initialized).

As the first step towards fixing this issue, move the registration
of acpi_power_driver into acpi_scan_init() so that power resource
devices can be initialized by it as soon as they have been found in
the namespace.
