[alsa-devel] -mm: pnp-do-not-stop-start-devices-in-suspend-resume-path.patch breaks resuming isapnp cards

[Rene Herman]

Hi Andrew.

pnp-do-not-stop-start-devices-in-suspend-resume-path.patch in current -mm 
breaks resuming isapnp cards from hibernation. They need the pnp_start_dev 
to enable the device again after hibernation.

They don't really need the pnp_stop_dev() which the above mentioned patch 
also removes but with the pnp_start_dev() restored it seems pnp_stop_dev() 
should also stay. Bjorn Helgaas should decide  -- currently the patch as you 
have it breaks drivers though. Could you drop it?

Then, if so and after you do that, could you apply the attached? That's also 
needed to resume (ALSA) ISA-PnP cards from hibernation due to the 
RES_DO_NOT_CHANGE test triggering for ALSA drivers and the pnp_start_dev() 
still not happening. More in the changelog...
