The subject line wants some trimming. It's supposed to be a concise
short summary and not a novel.

Aside of that it's blantantly wrong. It does not modify the suspend
callback to check with a PM notifier. It adds a PM notifier to check
early before the suspend callback runs.

Please align the second argument with the first argument of the
function.

Also the return value wants to be bool.

Please see:

This only makes sense for the actual suspend operation because freezing
of processes happens after the notifier callback runs.

You can spare the !*min if you initialize min to KTIME_MAX.

!*min above and *min == 0 here. Can we have consistency please?

Same as above vs. ordering.

No need for the line break. 80 character limit is gone.

Why is this a warning? If at all it wants to be pr_debug() and the
__func_ is pretty useless as grep is able to find the string, no?

How is this supposed to work? rtc is NULL.

See above.

SNIP

And another NULL pointer dereference follows suit.

How was this ever tested?

You need:

	rtc = alarmtimer_get_rtcdev();
	if (!rtc)
		return [0|NOTIFY_DONE];

in both functions and then hand in rtc to alarmtimer_get_soonest(), no?

Thanks,
