Btw., you say a bug was reported - but there's no Reported-by line. Do you know 
who reported it, can the reporter be credited?

Also, I improved the changelog to be readable, please pick this new text up for 
the next submission:

The patch looks good to me, but there are a few stylistic nits I have:

s/msr_save_data/saved_msr

Please don't use short in the kernel, the compiler will align it anyway. Use 
unsigned int instead.

No need to initialize to NULL AFAICS.

Also, please use consistent variable names for 'struct saved_msr *' variables: 
here you call it 'msr_data', elsewhere it's 'msr'. Using 'msr' consistently would 
be fine.

ditto. Please propagate this across the other messages as well.

Please put an empty line before the return.

I'm quite sure checkpatch warns about the whitespaces in this initialization 
sequence.

Please don't break the line for pr_info() arguments.

are you sure it's only this specific product version that is affected? Shouldn't 
we filter for all 'GRANTLEY' products? We can do no harm by saving/restoring on 
platforms that don't need it, right?

Please double check that the suspend/resume test facility (CONFIG_PM_TEST_SUSPEND) 
is run _after_ this callback is called. Is there any reason why this is a late 
initcall?

Thanks,
