If that's the case you should clearly state this in the commit message
and in code, although I don't know if it is safe to make such
assumption. There could be user of the DMA that doesn't track the
completion of transfers.

The suspend entrance should be terminated by wakeup events and only
critical issues. I don't think we should just terminate the suspend
entrance just because having on-going I/O without even try to stop it.
