| What:		/sys/devices/.../online
 | |
| Date:		April 2013

| Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
 | |
| Description:
 | |
| 		The /sys/devices/.../online attribute is only present for
 | |
| 		devices whose bus types provide .online() and .offline()
 | |
| 		callbacks.  The number read from it (0 or 1) reflects the value
 | |
| 		of the device's 'offline' field.  If that number is 1 and '0'
 | |
| 		(or 'n', or 'N') is written to this file, the device bus type's
 | |
| 		.offline() callback is executed for the device and (if
 | |
| 		successful) its 'offline' field is updated accordingly.  In
 | |
| 		turn, if that number is 0 and '1' (or 'y', or 'Y') is written to
 | |
| 		this file, the device bus type's .online() callback is executed
 | |
| 		for the device and (if successful) its 'offline' field is
 | |
| 		updated as appropriate.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		After a successful execution of the bus type's .offline()
 | |
| 		callback the device cannot be used for any purpose until either
 | |
| 		it is removed (i.e. device_del() is called for it), or its bus
 | |
| 		type's .online() is exeucted successfully.
