Gets rid of the following warning:
Platform driver 'acer-wmi' needs updating - please use dev_pm_ops

Take 2, thanks to Dmitry, Rafael and Frans for pointing out PM issue on
hibernation when using dev_pm_ops blindly.

This patch was tested against suspendand hibernation (Acer mail led
status).

Are these necessary? For suspend-to-RAM, I've never needed these. The old
callbacks here were just for suspend-to-disk.

That is not correct. Old suspend and resume callbacks were called for
both S2R and S2D. Whether it is actually needed for S2R I don't know but
looking at the code they should not hurt.

I'm aware they were called for S2RAM as well, but that was just a limitation
of the old calls - as I say, they're not needed for it (at least on my
hardware anyway).


I was looking for similar functionality.

+ .freeze = acer_platform_suspend,
+ .thaw = acer_platform_resume,

If we only need these callbacks for freeze & thaw, they should be
rebamed.

+ .poweroff = acer_platform_suspend,
+ .restore = acer_platform_resume,

What do poweroff and restore mean in this context. Do my comments above
apply again (i.e. are the callbacks necessary here)?

I don't think poweroff handler is needed.

After testing many combinations, I observed that I had to use that much
callbacks. For example, when omitting to wire .poweroff/.restore,
with .freeze/.thaw linked to suspend()/resume(), the state (of the mail
led) is not restored correctly after S2D.


Have you tried with just 3 - freeze, thaw and restore?
