I was just thinking, run-time PM never made it to 2.6.32 right ? So, I might
not need to add those run-time PM patches ?

Ok, you mean back port that structure from 2.6.37-rc6 to the android-2.6.32 kernel?

I've already got the required kernel modifications for the kernel board-omap3beagle.c
file, and have already tested it out with vanilla linux-2.6.37-rc6 with the wl1271 driver, 
and it works.

So, I'll just need to port those changes across to the android-2.6.32 kernel and see if it
all works together.
