[linux-pm][PATCH] base: Change power/wakeup output from "" to"unsupported" if wakeup feature isn't supported by a device

From: Yi Yang
Date: Fri Jan 04 2008 - 05:18:19 EST


If a device can't support wakeup, its /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup output is
empty, this is confusing, a user doesn't know if it supports wakeup feature
unless he/she read the ralated source code, for this case, it is more
reasonable to output "unsupported". Otherwise, no matter what value the user
sets to /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup, the result is the same: Invalid argument,
so the user doesn't know why.

This patch changes empty output to "unsupported" in order that a user knows
wakeup feature isn't supported by this device when he/she
'cat /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup', please consider to apply, thanks.
