Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] PM: runtime: Update device status before letting suppliers suspend (another take)

Hi All,

The previous attempt to address the issue tackled by this series, commit
44cc89f76464 ("PM: runtime: Update device status before letting suppliers
suspend") was incorrect, because it introduced a rather nasty race condition
into __rpm_callback(), so let's revert it (patch [1/2]).

Instead, let's avoid suspending the suppliers immediately after dropping the
PM-runtime references to them and do that later, when the status of the
consumer has changed to RPM_SUSPENDED.

Please see the patch changelogs for details.

Elaine, please test this series on the system where you saw the original
problem.

Thanks!
