-min_power Tell the controller to try to make the link use the

+====================== =====================================================
+min_power Enable slumber mode(no partial mode) for the link to
+ use the least possible power when possible. This may
sacrifice some performance due to increased latency
when coming out of lower power states.
medium_power Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
when possible, but do not enter the lowest power
state, thus improving latency over min_power setting.
-===================== =====================================================

+keep_firmware_settings Do not change the current firmware settings for
+ Power management. This is the default setting.
+
+med_power_with_dipm Same as medium_power, but additionally with
+ Device-initiated power management(DIPM) enabled,
+ as Intel Rapid Storage Technology(IRST) does.
+
+min_power_with_partial Same as min_power, but additionally with partial
+ power state enabled, which may improve performance
+ over min_power setting.
