Unfortunately, I've just realized that your patches don't add any mechanism
ensuring that parent devices' .suspend_noirq() will be called *after* the
.suspend_noirq() of all their children. Of course, analogously for
.suspend_late() and for the resume part (where children have to wait for
their parents).

In the original async suspend/resume code that is implemented using
power.completion and I suppose you can do the same thing here.

I have to drop the series for the time being.

Thanks!
