It also shows that if 'dpm_suspend_start' fails somewhere down the line then the kernel does not reset the 'transition_started' variable and we can get warning similar to below. IMHO 'dpm_resume_noirq' is not the right place for setting this variable. Please see the patch below which fixes the issue.

The second hunk is okay, but the first hunk isn't.  We want to set 
transition_started to false as soon as devices start resuming, because 
once a resume has begun it's okay to add new devices.
