+Description:
+		(RW) The Intel platform implementation of firmware activate
+		support exposes an option let the platform force idle devices in
+		the system over the activation event, or trust that the OS will
+		do it. The safe default is to let the platform force idle
+		devices since the kernel is already in a suspend state, and on
+		the chance that a driver does not properly quiesce bus-mastering
+		after a suspend callback the platform will handle it.  However,
+		the activation might abort if, for example, platform firmware
+		determines that the activation time exceeds the max PCI-E
+		completion timeout. Since the platform does not know whether the
+		OS is running the activation from a suspend context it aborts,
+		but if the system owner trusts driver suspend callback to be
+		sufficient then 'firmware_activation_noidle' can be
+		enabled to bypass the activation abort.

+Description:
+		(RW) The Intel platform implementation of firmware activate
+		enforces a memory-controller quiesce event while DMA might be
+		in-flight. That in-flight DMA may timeout awaiting the
+		activation to complete and cause undefined system behavior.
+		For this reason firmware activate is, by default, limited to
+		be carried out after all system device drivers have executed
+		their power-management-suspend callbacks. Otherwise, setting
+		this override allows firmware activate to be triggered outside
+		of the the suspend context by writing "activate" to
+		/sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/firmware_activate.
