Annotated Snippet
Power-management integrated circuits or miscellaneous hardware components are
sometimes able to control the system power. The device driver associated with these
components might need to define this capability, which tells the kernel that
it can be used to switch off the system. The corresponding device must have the
standard property "system-power-controller" in its device node. This property
marks the device as able to control the system power. In order to test if this
property is found programmatically, use the helper function
"of_device_is_system_power_controller" from of.h .
Example:
act8846: act8846@5 {
compatible = "active-semi,act8846";
system-power-controller;

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
