Hi!
Not sure if I'm commenting on latest version...
> PM_EVENT_FREEZE -- quiesce the driver, but don't necessarily change into
> any low power mode. The driver's resume() will often be called soon.
> Neither wakeup events nor DMA are allowed.
>
> PM_EVENT_PRETHAW -- quiesce the driver, knowing that the upcoming resume()
> will restore a suspend-to-disk snapshot from a different kernel image.
> Drivers that are smart enough to look at their hardware state during
> resume() processing need that state to be correct ... a PRETHAW could
> be used to invalidate that state (by resetting the device). Other
> drivers might handle this the same way as PM_EVENT_FREEZE.
"Neither wakeup events nor DMA are allowed." should be added here,
