If you are sure that it is safe to keep the work running
after your suspend-handler has run and on resume to
have it running before your resume handler has run
then yes that is ok.

This seems unwise though, adding a sync kill of the
work + requeue is only a couple of lines of code.

And what about accessing other subsystems like the
AMD HID sensors, I guess the work item may do that
too? That esp. seems unwise to do after your
suspend-handler has run.

Even if you stop the work from your suspend handler
you may need to add some dev-links to ensure
that the PMF linux-device is suspended before
e.g. the AMD HID sensors. That can be done in
a follow up patch though.

Hans
