Looks good overall (after fixing the minor things I pointed out, of
course), but I'd recommend applying this series to mtd-next just after
-rc1 is out so you get a chance to detect regressions before it's
merged in Linus' tree. I fear this unconditional blocking on suspended
device will lead to unexpected deadlocks (see my comment on panic
writes)...
