Sure, that's pretty obvious. :-)

Good!

That should be easy to fix. What about the appended patch?

That actually is a bug. At least it's not consistent with
__pm_wakeup_event() that will replace the existing timeout with a new
one.
I'll post a patch to fix that in the next couple of days, stay tuned. :-)

This also is a bug that needs fixing anyway.

Yes, there is a race window if the timer function has already started.
It looks like I wanted to make it too simple. :-) Will fix.
Thanks,
