    why are you always so over the top like that ? This is just
    counter-productive to say the least.

    What I'm trying to say here, is that there might be a bug either on pm
    core or on OMAP3's implementation and I'd like to get input from Tony,
    Santosh, Paul, etc before going forward. Maybe it's something they've
    already been through, or maybe it rings a bell and points to somewhere
    we should look for.

    anyway, instead of feeding your ego, we can stop this discussion and let
    Sourav see what he can come up with.
