I think you're talking about the patch at [1] which is not upstream. A quick
question with my limited knowledge of suspend/resume- How can there be pending
I/O operations between suspend/resume cycles? The sync is done before suspend,
so I don't understand how one is receiving a response from the card after resume
before EDMA can resume? I'd imagine that until all devices are resumed, there
will be no I/O operation issued. Let me know your thoughts.

thanks,

-Joel
