Look closer.  The patch which was posted has my sign-off on it, it says
it's from me, but according to the commit summary, it's author is Jean-
Christophe.

So, it _is_ my patch which Jean has decided to _recommit_ into his tree
taking it from my tree _without_ _asking_ _me_ whether it was either a
good idea to do that, whether it was a finished patch, etc.

So all in all I'm pretty disgusted with Jean-Christophe over this.

I would like to see my patch updated at some point not to use
arm_pm_restart, but to use the .restart method directly, like I've been
doing for everyone else.  In other words, this patch is NOT STABLE at
the present time.
