| This parameter allows the user to set the link (interface) power management. | |
| There are 3 possible options: | |
| Value Effect | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| min_power Tell the controller to try to make the link use the | |
| least possible power when possible. This may | |
| sacrifice some performance due to increased latency | |
| when coming out of lower power states. | |
| max_performance Generally, this means no power management. Tell | |
| the controller to have performance be a priority | |
| over power management. | |
| medium_power Tell the controller to enter a lower power state | |
| when possible, but do not enter the lowest power | |
| state, thus improving latency over min_power setting. | |
