Of course suspend resume is not supported at all by old rtc driver I already wrote complete support for suspend/resume for old rtc driver (I wrote it long time ago) Now I fixed it to support HPET , and this way I discovered that HPET doesn't have suspend resume functions I will do last checks now and send this patch very soon I am also planning to add support of HPET and suspend/resume for rtc-cmos, but I didn't start this yet.
