Thanks for the patch.  However, I can't take this as is.  The reasons
are below:

The power_save option takes indeed an integer value, and this kconfig
is nothing but its default value.

In your way, it's set always 1 if selected.  This is a very bad choice
as power_save value, because you'll turn on/off after one second.
This may lead to too frequent click noises. 
Thus, even if we need to make it bool, a more sensitive value must be
chosen.  And, which value is sensitive is a matter of taste, and you
cannot define it alone by yourself.


thanks,

Takashi
