I am interesting by this topic because I am working on adding standby support for the mvebu SoCs (or at least some of them). In suspend to ram, the SoC is completely shutdown, whereas in standby it will remain powered. So for standby we need to do extra steps such as switching off the SerDes. Initially I though that I could use the PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY but as pointed by Alexandre it is not this event which is sent to the drivers.
With the current code, it seems that the specific work for standby is done at machine level, how could you also doing it at device level?
Thanks,
Gregory
