NAK.

led_trigger should not need special handling over suspend.

Yes, timers can and should be active over suspend.

Core reason is that 5ab92a7cb is wrong. (Very wrong; it papers over
the issue for one trigger, but we have more than one... Even if
special handling for heartbeat is warranted, that handling would be
"turn the led off" not "unregister the trigger", which is
userland-visible action.) That one should be reverted, then maybe the
driver should be fixed to turn the led off during suspend.
