Subject: PCMCIA insert on resume

Hello,

I don't understand why, on resume, the function socket_resume() (in
drivers/pcmcia/cs.c) do:

       if (!(skt->state & SOCKET_PRESENT)) {
               skt->state &= ~SOCKET_SUSPEND;
               return socket_insert(skt);
       }

This cause a powered off socket before suspend to be powered on during
resume.

To avoid such (erroneous?) behaviour I propose this patch:

diff --git a/drivers/pcmcia/cs.c b/drivers/pcmcia/cs.c

        skt->state &= ~SOCKET_SUSPEND;
 
        return CS_SUCCESS;

With this patch if the socket was powered down before the suspend, at
resume time it's not powered on and you need a "pccardctl insert" to
activate the socket.

Ciao,

Rodolfo
