Dear Kukjin,

This patch was first sent on 3rd of February. It could enter before
opening 4.0 merge window. I did not receive any response from you in
that time.

So let me point next steps:
1. The Exynos4412 suspend on 4.0 is broken and now this patch applies as
a fix.
2. I resent it on 18th of February.
3. I received tested-by from Bartlomiej and Chanwoo.
4. Bartlomiej pinged you on 3rd March.

Still no response. If the patch does not look good then please share
your comments. I'll fix it.
If this patch looks good, why does it take so much time?


Dear Arnd and Olof,

Could you pick it up to your arm-soc?


Best regards,
Krzysztof
