Something like this: dev_warn(dev, "device added while parent %s is asleep\n", dev->parent->bus_id); WARN_ON(true); > @@ -426,6 +406,12 @@ static int dpm_suspend(pm_message_t stat > struct list_head *entry = dpm_active.prev; > struct device *dev = to_device(entry); > > + if (dev->parent && dev->parent->power.sleeping) { > + WARN_ON(true); > + error = -EAGAIN; > + break; Again, a dev_warn() would be appropriate. And you might consider taking out the "error = -EAGAIN" and the "break". When this occurs it doesn't mean that devices were suspended in the wrong order; it means that the ordering of the parent pointers fails to match the ordering of dpm_active. The only way for this to happen is if the parent pointers are messed up by device_move() -- dpm_active will still be correct. The rest of the patch looks fine.
