Subject: Re: 900af0d breaks some embedded suspend/resume

Well, I was not aware of this dependency and it seems quite unusual for a
platform to depend on a driver like this.

Sorry for that.

The patchset in question had been discussed quite extensively before it was
merged and it's a pity none of the people caring for the affected platforms
took part in those discussions.  That would allow us to avoid the breakage.

I don't think this is possible, sorry.

There is the .begin() callback that could be used, but if you need the
platform to be notified _just_ prior to the late suspend callback, then the
only thing I can think of at the moment is the appended patch.

It shouldn't break anything in theory, because the majority of drivers put
their devices into low power states in the "regular" suspend callbacks anyway.

Len, what do you think?

Thanks,
Rafael
