Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] PM: runtime: Update device status before letting suppliers suspend (another take)

Hi All,

The previous attempt to address the issue tackled by this series, commit
44cc89f76464 ("PM: runtime: Update device status before letting suppliers
suspend") was incorrect, because it introduced a rather nasty race condition
into __rpm_callback(), so let's revert it (patch [1/2]).

Instead, let's avoid suspending the suppliers immediately after dropping the
PM-runtime references to them and do that later, when the status of the
consumer has changed to RPM_SUSPENDED.

Please see the patch changelogs for details.

Elaine, please test this series on the system where you saw the original
problem.

Thanks!

The above still applies.

The v2 is sent because of some updates in the second patch, plus the tags from Ulf.

Thanks!
