In linux kernel since version 3.10 (release Date: 2013-06-30)
Intel Smart Connect is a technology intended to permit devices to
update state by resuming for a short period of time at regular
intervals. If a user enables this functionality under Windows and
then reboots into Linux, the system may remain configured to resume
on suspend. In the absence of any userspace to support it, the system
will then remain awake until something triggers another suspend.
This driver checks to determine whether the device has Intel Smart
Connect enabled, and if so disables it.
