Re: Calling suspend() in halt/restart/shutdown -> not a good idea

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

> Why are we calling driver suspend routines in these ? This is _not_

Well, reason is that if you remove device_suspend() you'll get
emergency hard disk park during powerdown. As harddrives can survive
only limited number of emergency stops, that is not a good idea.
