There are freezable workqueues that are automatically frozen during suspend
by the process freezer. However, at the moment they need to be singlethread
and I'm not sure if using one in this particular case is appropriate.

I overlooked that, sorry.

No, that won't work. You need to find an alternative solution. I guess you
may insert a work item that's going to sleep until a condition is
satisfied (analogous to a workqueue barrier) and wait for it to run.

Well, there was no need for that until now. :-)

OK

I think Andrew has already taken [2/2].

Andrew, who's maintaining MMC now?

I think they are worth merging. At least they shouldn't break things and
Maxim has already promised to clean up that code in future.

I see.

If you have anything PM-related, I can handle that too.
