Agreed.

So, I will add synchronize_irq() to both saa7134, and dmfe, the two drivers that their .suspend/.resume
routines were written by me.

I already added a synchronize_irq() plus few more fixes to the driver , but those patches are still in v4l tree.

I now has this:

saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ1, 0);
saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ2, 0);
saa_writel(SAA7134_MAIN_CTRL, 0);

synchronize_irq(pci_dev->irq);
dev->insuspend = 1;

and I will probably need (with the synchronize_irq patch applied)


/* Disable interrupts, DMA, and rest of the chip*/
saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ1, 0);
saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ2, 0);
saa_writel(SAA7134_MAIN_CTRL, 0);

dev->insuspend = 1;
synchronize_irq(pci_dev->irq);

/* ACK pending interrupts just in case*/
saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT,saa_readl(SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT));

......
This should be bullet-proof.
