ACPI: scan: Turn off unused power resources during initialization
It is reported that on certain platforms there are power resources that are not associated with any devices physically present in the platform. Those power resources are expected to be turned off by the OS in accordance with the ACPI specification (section 7.3 of ACPI 6.4) which currently is not done by Linux and that may lead to obscure issues. For instance, leaving those power resources in the "on" state may prevent the platform from reaching the lowest power state in suspend-to-idle which leads to excessive power draw. For this reason, turn all of the unused ACPI power resources off at the end of the initial namespace scan for devices in analogy with resume from suspend-to-RAM.
