My brain is half fried at the moment so maybe you're saying the same thing, but I hope this is something simple. Like... /* for libata runtime suspend is equivalent to suspend */ if (runtime suspended && target == SUSPEND) { yeah! skip drive pm ops; } else { end runtime pm; ask EH to enter target PM state; } I really don't think we need to optimize this further than this.
