I've given this some thought, and gone back and forth a bit. UMEM is a
bit more complicated because the linker decides what should go where.
Also, it may be that in the future, either the PM for am335x or am43xx
will be writing different sequences depending on the suspend
mode/options.
Is there a specific aspect of copying the data each suspend cycle that
you are trying to fix? Is it just that the data could only be copied
once? Or is it the latency of the copy?
Thanks!
