I still haven't reviewed patch 15, 16 and 18 which adds suspend support.
Will do that in coming days since they need a bit a closer look.

But as mentioned in some of the patches, you need to split this series
since except 15, 16 and 18 which adds suspend support, rest of the
patches are
- data file fixes
- timer suspend/resume update
- mailbox support, control module update.

Would be good to split the series to help the reviews.
