Hi Can,

Please note that this is not a matter of personal preferences of a
reviewer but a matter of correctness. blk_queue_pm_only() does not only
return a value > 0 if a SCSI device has been runtime suspended but also
returns true if scsi_device_quiesce() was called for another reason.
Hence my request to test the "runtime suspended" status directly and not
to rely on blk_queue_pm_only().

Thanks,

Bart.
