Ok. I can keep this patch as part of the suspend-resume support for AM33XX.

With just this patch on top of the tree being maintained by Vaibhav Hiremath [1]
I found a couple of issues that I am yet to fully root-cause.

1. The PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE handler in drivers/mmc/core/core.c never returns unless
the MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME config option is selected. This might be due to the suspend
and resume in mmc_bus_ops being NULL in the case where the config option is not set.

2. The suspend process hangs somewhere in the .suspend_noirq callback for the UART
being used as the console when no_console_suspend is passed.

I am yet to check the behavior on an OMAP3 EVM so right now I am not sure whether
these are AM33XX specific issues. If you have any pointers that will greatly help.

Vaibhav B.
