At that time, the feature was called "freeze", kind of for the lack of a better idea how to call it. It would not be a problem if it wasn't confusing, but alas it is. The word "freeze" is quite heavily loaded in the PM terminology. It is related to the freezing of tasks, the freezing of filesystems (which isn't only used for PM for that matter), and one of the phases of handling devices during hibernation (and during resume from it) is called "freeze", which is reflected in the names of PM callbacks used by it. To avoid that confusion, the following patches change the names of various items related to suspend-to-idle by replacing the word "freeze" in them with "s2idle". The series is on top of current linux-next. Thanks, Rafael
