Yes, it is, sorry. But it should be under /sys/devices/.../power/ .

That's fine.

What I wanted to say was that all code adding attributes into /sys/power
should be located under kernel/power/ in the kernel source tree.

Otherwise we'll end up with a mess of dependencies that's hard to maintain.

OK
