In fact, my (possibly incorrect) understanding of this Resource Power Manager is that it's actually to manage communication/control of resources that are actually handled off the SoC by a microcontroller. I added Paul W. to Cc so he can correct me, but I think this is a ways off from the goal of what drivers/soc was for. Kevin
