I have a little confusion. In ARM SoC, a lot of pins are used as
multi-functions.

Before suspend, it may be configured as some function that isn't GPIO.
Is it a goal
that avoid declaring gpio_request() for suspend and updating the setting of pin?

Linus,
Are these two patches are post in mailing list? I can't find your
second patch in this
patch series?
