I never understood many clear definitions here either, personally.

It's not really "automatic", it's a product of this line:

static const struct platform_suspend_ops rk3288_suspend_ops = {
        .enter   = rk3288_suspend_enter,
        .valid   = suspend_valid_only_mem,  <--- here
        .prepare = rk3288_suspend_prepare,
        .finish  = rk3288_suspend_finish,
};

and the fact that we don't check the 'state' argument in
.enter/.prepare/.finish.

But still, I'm not sure it's productive to rename shallow until we support
deep.
