Hmm, I didn't think about that. It seems to be viable at first sight. Still, I think we can first separate hibernation_ops from pm_ops, figure out what they should be and then try to replace them with a cleaner solution. > > Okay.

But .resume() would be called unconditionally, so there should be a way of figuring out what to do - looks complicated. > > (3) enter() - called after the image has been saved, execute _GTS and do what's > > currently done in pm_enter() > > This one is tricky.

And we need one more (in fact this one should be called finish() and the previous one wake() or something like that): (5) finish() - called after device_resume(), but only after the image has been restored or in case of a hibernation error, execute _TTS(S0). It looks like this also should enable the GPEs (or the previous one; that's the information I'm looking for).
