 * Power management
 
+  * Devices can now declare which system power states cause power loss.
+    This information can be used to set and release power state
+    constraints when it is needed by the device. This feature is enabled with
+    :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PM_POLICY_DEVICE_CONSTRAINTS`. Use functions
+    :c:func:`pm_policy_device_power_lock_get` and :c:func:`pm_policy_device_power_lock_put`
+    to lock and unlock all power states that cause power loss in a device.
+
+  * Added shell support for device power management.
+
+  * Device power management was de-coupled from system power management. The new
+    :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_SYSTEM_MANAGED` option is used to enable
+    whether or not devices must be suspended when the system sleeps.
+
+  * Make it possible to disable system device power management individually per
+    power state using ``zephyr,pm-device-disabled``. This allows targets tuning which
+    states should (and which should not) trigger device power management.

 * Crypto
 
   * Mbed TLS was updated to 3.6.0. Release notes can be found at:
