Hmm. I certainly agree - your numbers do not seem to support any async at all. However, I do note that for the "extra patch" makes a big difference at resume time. That implies that the resume serializes on some slow device that wasn't marked async - and starting the async ones early avoids that. But without the per-device timings, it's hard to even guess what device that was. But even that doesn't really help the suspend cases, only resume. Do you have any sample timing output with devices listed?
