Rather than letting device driver be responsible to call devfreq_suspend_device() or devfreq_dev_suspend(),would there be any problems in using pm notifier here? (calling the event handler with DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND/RESUME at pm notifier, stopping them earlier and resuming tham later)

What devfreq-core and devfreq-governors do with suspend/resume is handling the delayed workqueue and it does not have anything to do with device-specific tasks. Thus, having each device driver handle device-specifics with its own pm_ops and having devfreq-core stop sampling seem appropriate.

Putting another burden to each device driver (to call devfreq_suspend/resume_device() at its pm_ops) for an obvious task that could be done at core doesn't seem fair.

Thank you.



Cheers!
