As mentioned previously, we didn't know this was an option (stubs without an implementation behind them). If it is, and thus we can simplify the driver merging process short-term while sorting out a long-term implementation or replacement for suspend blockers, then I think we're making real progress. There is no reason that drivers that support suspend blockers cannot (or should not) support regular suspend/resume or runtime suspend/resume, so that shouldn't be a worry. The various operating modes complement, not compete with each other (we want the lowest possible power consumption in all states, be that fully active, fully suspended, or anything in between -- I think everyone involved agrees with this). > I think all of us involved in that can do with a break, where we sit > back, calm down and rethink w/o time pressure.
