I thought they were no longer needed...

For sd, we have request based rutime PM and the PM core will always try
to autosuspend the device with the timer; and for sr, the poll will
trigger suspend constantly. And for both, we don't return -EAGAIN anyway.
So I suppose that code is not necessary?

BTW, I'll be on vocation till 02/17, and I don't have access to the
internet in my hometown, but please feel free to drop any comments and
I'll check them when I get back.

Thanks,
