+Description:
+		The /sys/power/pm_async file controls the switch allowing the
+		user space to enable or disable asynchronous suspend and resume
+		of devices.  If enabled, this feature will cause some device
+		drivers' suspend and resume callbacks to be executed in parallel
+		with each other and with the main suspend thread.  It is enabled
+		if this file contains "1", which is the default.  It may be
+		disabled by writing "0" to this file, in which case all devices
+		will be suspended and resumed synchronously.
