Well, powerdown at the end of suspend-to-disk should be *very* similar to normal powerdown => if device_suspend() breaks something, it is a bug in driver anyway.
Now, we may have a lot of such bugs, and the change went in too early, but in the long run... -- teflon -- maybe it is a trademark, but it should not be. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
