Tegra suspend support didn't make it into 2.6.39, but should get
merged in 2.6.40, and will call tegra_gpio_suspend/resume.

Yes, the existing code wrong, and unnecessary. It was copied from
mach-tegra/irq.c, which I later fixed, but I missed this one. I'll
take this patch for 2.6.39-rc1, which will prevent merge conflicts
between your tree and the tegra tree in 2.6.40.
