Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Hibernate cleanups

Hi,

Following are three hibernate patches I didn't have the time to
work on before.

[1/3] - Update comments in kernel/power/hibernate.c
[2/3] - Remove arch_prepare_suspend()
[3/3] - Update kerneldoc comments in kernel/power/hibernate.c

Since they don't make any functional changes, I don't think it makes sense
to wait with them for the next merge window, so I'd like to push them
for 2.6.40 if no one objects.

Thanks,
Rafael

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] PM / Hibernate: Update some comments in core hibernate code

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>

Some comments in the core hibernate code are outdated, some aren't
necessary any more and at least one of them is plain wrong. Remove
those comments or update them.

All architectures supporting hibernation define
arch_prepare_suspend() as an empty function, so remove it.

Hi Rafael,

Several of the functions are missing function parameter notations, as
noted below.

Hi,

Ah, thanks! Those should be fixed in the new version of the patch below.

Thanks,

Subject: PM / Hibernate: Update kerneldoc comments in hibernate.c

Some of the kerneldoc comments in kernel/power/hibernate.c are
outdated and some of them don't adhere to the kernel's standards.
Update them and make them look in a consistent way.
