PM: Fix potential issue with failing asynchronous suspend
There is a potential issue with the asynchronous suspend code that a device driver suspending asynchronously may not notice that it should back off. There are two failing scenarions, (1) when the driver is waiting for a driver suspending synchronously to complete and that second driver returns error code, in which case async_error won't be set and the waiting driver will continue suspending and (2) after the driver has called device_pm_wait_for_dev() and the waited for driver returns error code, in which case the caller of device_pm_wait_for_dev() will not know that there was an error and will continue suspending. To fix this issue make __device_suspend() set async_error, so async_suspend() doesn't need to set it any more, and make device_pm_wait_for_dev() return async_error, so that its callers can check whether or not they should continue suspending. No more changes are necessary, since device_pm_wait_for_dev() is not used by any drivers' suspend routines. Reported-by: Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
