Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: docs: Add description for missing options of link_power_management_policy
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 14:53:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115065341.10230-1-s921975628@gmail.com> (raw)

With the kernel update we have more different policy for SCSI
link power management. Add the corresponding description to
the file.
