I'm about ready to test the appended patch... a "move one device" call might be safest at this point in the release cycle though. - Dave ======================== SNIP! Change how the PM list is constructed, so that devices are added right after their parents (when they have one) rather than at the end of the list. This preserves sequencing guarantees, but enables sequencing of suspend/resume operations by more important characteristics than "when device happened to enumerate" ... e.g. clocksources and clockevents at a clearly defined point during suspend and resume. This patch has a potential downside for devices that have multiple power dependencies and which "just happened to work" before.
